Abstract
Maslov indices are an essential ingredient in the semiclassical approaches to quantum mechanics, as they are also related to the conjugate points of the corresponding trajectory, which reflects the dynamics in its neighborhood. In this paper, we show how these important topological parameters can be computed using the geometrodynamic approach to dynamics. Illustrations in two- and three-dimensional systems are presented and discussed.
