The Cohomological Meaning of Maslov’s Lagrangian Path Intersection Index
Conference paper
Abstract
We study the relation between the complete Maslov index defined by Leray and the author, and the Lagrangian path intersection index defined by Robbin and Salamon, and used by McDuff and Salamon in their study of symplectic topology.
