Maslov index is an integer-valued invariant in symplectic geometry, microlocal analysis, and semiclassical analysis. It is associated most classically with a loop or path of Lagrangian subspaces in a symplectic vector space, and measures how that path meets a distinguished singular hypersurface known as the Maslov cycle.
