It is known (since Maslov observations) that the analogues of Bohr–Sommerfeld
conditions in the asymptotic quantisation (know also as the Maslov’s canonical operator
method) have a topological nature.
This condition has a form of annihilation of some cohomology classes (the
Maslov–Arnold classes). The Maslov–Arnold classes are, in fact, the examples of
characteristic classes, which are completely defined by a universal construction of
a ‘classifying map’ into a ‘classifying space’ phase space T∗M. The topology of
this Lagrangian Grassmannian and its Z2−cohomology ring H∗
(LG,Z2) are well
known (A. Borel, D. Fuchs).
The classes of Maslov–Arnold contain an important information about singularities
for the Lagrangian projections.
In this paper, we review and describe one of the generalizations of Maslov–Arnold
classes associated with a topological study of Monge–Ampère equations and their
solutions. This important tool for studies of Monge–Ampère solution singularities
