Popis: We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.
Comment: v2: 31 pages, added a Morse Index Theorem for composition of paths
