The Maslov indices in periodic-orbit theory are investigated using the phase-space path integral. Based on the observation that the Maslov index is the multi-valued function of the monodromy matrix, we introduce a generalized monodromy matrix in the universal covering space of the symplectic group a

Using the fact that the energy eigenstates of the equilateral triangle infinite well (or billiard) are available in closed form, we examine the connections between the energy eigenvalue spectrum and the classical closed paths in this geometry, using both periodic orbit theory and the short-term semi
We introduce a family of homotopy invariants deg n (#), n=1, 2, 3, . . . associated to a reversible periodic orbit # of a time reversible system. We present two results: (i) we compute deg n (#) from information on the Floquet multipliers of #, (ii) conversely, we recover any Floquet multipliers of
