چکیده
We prove a formula that expresses the Viterbo–Maslov index of a smooth strip in an oriented 2-manifold with boundary curves contained in 1-dimensional submanifolds in terms the degree function on the complement of the union of the two submanifolds.

Computing the Maslov Index for Large Systems
We address the problem of computing the Maslov index for large linear symplectic systems on the real line. The Maslov index measures the signed intersections (with a given reference plane) of a path of Lagrangian planes. The natural chart parameterization for the Grassmannian of Lagrangian planes is the space of real symmetric matrices. Linear system evolution induces a Riccati evolution in the...
متن کاملThe Maslov index for paths
Maslov’s famous index for a loop of Lagrangian subspaces was interpreted by Arnold [1] as an intersection number with an algebraic variety known as the Maslov cycle. Arnold’s general position arguments apply equally well to the case of a path of Lagrangian subspaces whose endpoints lie in the complement of the Maslov cycle. Our aim in this paper is to define a Maslov index for any path regardle...
متن کاملOn the Maslov Index of Symplectic Paths That Are Not Transversal to the Maslov Cycle. Semi-riemannian Index Theorems in the Degenerate Case
The Maslov index of a symplectic path, under a certain transversality assumption, is given by an algebraic count of the intersections of the path with a subvariety of the Lagrangian Grassmannian called the Maslov cycle. In these notes we use the notion of generalized signatures at a singularity of a smooth curve of symmetric bilinear forms to determine a formula for the computation of the Maslo...

متن کاملResidue Classes of Lagrangian Subbundles and Maslov Classes
For Lagrangian subbundles with singularities in symplectic vector bundles, explicit formulas of relation between their residue classes and Maslov classes outside singularities are obtained. Then a Lagrangian subbundle with singularity is constructed where all possible Maslov classes are nonzero but residue classes vanish for dimension > 2 . Moreover, a Lagrangian immersion with singularity is c...
