A topological theory of Maslov indices for Lagrangian and symplectic paths

Symplectic Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We propose a topological theory of the Maslov index for lagrangian and symplectic paths based on a minimal system of axioms. We recover, as particular cases, the Hoermander and the Robbin-Salomon indices.
