The Maslov index as a quadratic space
- Abstract:
-
Kashiwara defined the Maslov index (associated to a collection of Lagrangian subspaces of a symplectic vector space over a field F) as a class in the Witt group W(F) of quadratic forms. We construct a canonical quadratic vector space in this class and show how to understand the basic properties of the Maslov index without passing to W(F) - that is, more or less, how to upgrade Kashiwara's equalities in W(F) to canonical isomorphisms between quadratic spaces. The quadratic space is defined usi...
