Abstract
We show that the index of an elliptic Fourier integral operator associated to a contact diffeomorphism of cosphere bundles of two Riemannian manifolds X and Y is given by . Here stands for the unit coball bundle and is a certain characteristic class depending on the principal symbol of the Fourier integral operator. In the special case when X=Y we obtain a different proof of the theorem of Epstein and Melrose.
