n this paper we define an invariant of a pair of 6 dimensional symplectic %optional manifold with vanishing 1st Chern class and its Lagrangian submanifold with vanishing Maslov index. This invariant is a function on the set of the path…
We use the properties of the Leray index to give precise formulas in arbitrary dimensions for the Maslov index of the monodromy matrix arising in periodic Hamiltonian systems. We compare our index with other indices appearing in the…
In symplectic geometry a question of great importance is whether a (Lagrangian) submanifold is displaceable, that is, if it can be made disjoint from itself by the means of a Hamiltonian isotopy. In these notes we analyze the coadjoint…
Morse index theory provides an elegant and useful tool for describing several aspects of a Lagrangian system in terms of its variational properties. In the classical framework it provides an equality between the spectral properties of a…
We consider a {\em Hamiltonian setup} $\sextuple$, where $(\mathcal M,\omega)$ is a symplectic manifold, $\mathfrak L$ is a distribution of Lagrangian subspaces in $\mathcal M$, $\mathcal P$ a Lagrangian submanifold of $ \mathcal M$, $H$ is…
We show that a monotone Lagrangian $L$ in $\mathbb{CP}^n$ of minimal Maslov number $n + 1$ is homeomorphic to a double quotient of a sphere, and thus homotopy equivalent to $\mathbb{RP}^n$. To prove this we use Zapolsky's canonical pearl…
We develop an index theory for variational problems on noncompact quantum graphs. The main results are a spectral flow formula, relating the net change of eigenvalues to the Maslov index of boundary data, and a Morse index theorem, equating…
In this article, we show that the Fredholm Lagrangian Grassmannian is homotopy equivalent with the space of compact perturbations of a fixed lagrangian. As a corollary, we obtain that the Maslov index with respect to a lagrangian is a…
In this paper we find that the asymptotic nonlinear Maslov index defined on the universal cover of the group of all contact Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the standard 2n-1 dimensional contact sphere is a quasimorphism. Then we show our…
We define pointwise partial differential relations for holomorphic discs. Given a relative homotopy class, a relation, and a generic almost complex structure we provide the moduli space of discs which have an injective point with the…
Mironov, Panov and Kotelskiy studied Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangians inside $\mathbb{C}^n$. They associated a closed embedded Lagrangian $L$ to each Delzant polytope $P$. In this paper we develop their ideas and prove that $L$ is monotone…
When solitary waves are characterized as homoclinic orbits of a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian system, they have an integer-valued topological invariant, the Maslov index. We are interested in developing a robust numerical algorithm to…
We obtain new restrictions on Maslov classes of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}^n$. We also construct families of new examples of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds, which show that the restrictions on Maslov classes are sharp…
The Maslov index of a periodic orbit is an important piece in the semiclassical quantization of non-integrable systems, while almost all existing techniques that lead to a rigorous calculation of this index are elaborate and mathematically…
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.
Working with a general class of linear Hamiltonian systems on $[0, 1]$, we show that renormalized oscillation results can be obtained in a natural way through consideration of the Maslov index associated with appropriately chosen paths of…
We derive some restrictions on the topology of a monotone Lagrangian submanifold $L\subset\mathbf{C}^n$ by making observations about the topology of the moduli space of Maslov 2 holomorphic discs with boundary on $L$ and then using Damian's…
In this note it is shown that the Maslov Index for pairs of Lagrangian Paths as introduced by Cappell, Lee and Miller appears by parallel transporting elements of (a certain complex line-subbundle of) the symplectic spinorbundle over…
We define the Maslov index of a loop tangent to the characteristic foliation of a coisotropic submanifold as the mean Conley--Zehnder index of a path in the group of linear symplectic transformations, incorporating the "rotation" of the…
We extend the definition of the Maslov index to a broad class of non-Hamiltonian dynamical systems. To do this, we introduce a family of topological spaces--which we call Maslov-Arnold spaces--that share key topological features with the…
