Abstract

In this note we investigate about some relations between Poincar\'e dual and other topological objects, such as intersection index, topological degree, and Maslov index of Lagrangian submanifolds. A simple proof of the Poincar\'e-Hopf theorem is recalled. The Lagrangian submanifolds are the geometrical, multi-valued, solutions of physical problems of evolution governed by Hamilton-Jacobi equations: the computation of the algebraic number of the branches is showed to be performed by using Poincar\'e dual.
