چکیده
After a short review of various ways to calculate the Maslov index appearing in semiclassical Gutzwiller type trace formulae, we discuss a coordinate-independent and canonically invariant formulation recently proposed by A Sugita (2000, 2001). We give explicit formulae for its ingredients and test them numerically for periodic orbits in several Hamiltonian systems with mixed dynamics. We demonstrate how the Maslov indices and their ingredients can be useful in the classification of periodic orbits in complicated bifurcation scenarios.

We consider the complex scalar field coupled to background NC U(1) YM and calculate the correlator of two gauge invariant composite operators. We show how the noncommutative gauge invariance is restored for higher correlators (though the Green's function itself is not invariant). It is interesting that the recently discovered noncommutative solitons appear in the calculation.
متن کاملM ar 2 00 7 A topological theory of Maslov indices for Lagrangian and symplectic paths
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 Hörmander and the Robbin–Salomon indices.

We prove a surgery formula for the smooth Yamabe invariant σ(M) of a compact manifold M . Assume that N is obtained from M by surgery of codimension at least 3. We prove the existence of a positive constant Λn, depending only on the dimension n of M , such that σ(N) ≥ min{σ(M),Λn}.
متن کاملInvariant measures of Hamiltonian systems with prescribed asymptotic Maslov index
We study the properties of the asymptotic Maslov index of invariant measures for timeperiodic Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of a compact manifold M . We show that if M has finite fundamental group and the Hamiltonian satisfies some general growth assumptions on the momenta, the asymptotic Maslov indices of periodic orbits are dense in the half line [0,+∞). Furthermore, if the Hami...
