Topic:
A symplectic view of linearized elliptic problems leads naturally to
the formulation of an appropriate Maslov Index. This is well-known in
one space dimension and is generalized here to domains in higher space
dimensions. The result is a Morse Index type theorem that applies on
bounded domains with any prescribed (symplectic) boundary conditions.
