The Morse and Maslov indices for matrix Hill's equations (1301.4418v3)
Published 18 Jan 2013 in math.SP, math-ph, math.DS, math.MP, and math.SG
Abstract: For Hill's equations with matrix valued periodic potential, we discuss relations between the Morse index, counting the number of unstable eigenvalues, and the Maslov index, counting the number of signed intersections of a path in the space of Lagrangian planes with a fixed plane. We adapt to the one dimensional periodic setting the strategy of a paper by J. Deng and C. Jones relating the Morse and Maslov indices for multidimensional elliptic eigenvalue problems.
