Let @math be a symplectic manifold, @math a coisotropic submanifold, and @math a compact oriented (real) surface. I define a natural Maslov index for each continuous map @math that sends every connected component of @math to some isotropic leaf of @math . This index is real valued and generalizes the usual Lagrangian Maslov index. The idea is to use the linear holonomy of the isotropic foliation of @math to compensate for the loss of boundary data in the case codimension @math . The definition is based on the Salamon-Zehnder (mean) Maslov index of a path of linear symplectic automorphisms. I prove a lower bound on the number of leafwise fixed points of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism, if @math is geometrically bounded and @math is closed, regular (i.e. "fibering"), and monotone. As an application, we obtain a presymplectic non-embedding result. I also prove a coisotropic version of the Audin conjecture.
* Work by M. Entov and L. Polterovich and by V. L. Ginzburg Let now @math be a closed (spherically) monotone symplectic manifold and @math a torus acting on @math in a Hamiltonian way, with moment map @math . Then by Theorem 1.7 in the article @cite_11 by M. Entov and L. Polterovich the pre-image @math of the special element of @math under @math is strongly (i.e. symplectically) non-displaceable.

Let @math be a geometrically bounded symplectic manifold, @math be a closed, regular coisotropic submanifold, and @math be a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism. The main result of this article is that the number of leafwise fixed points of @math is bounded below by the sum of the Betti numbers of @math , provided that the Hofer distance between @math and the identity is small enough and the pair @math is non-degenerate. As an application, I prove a presymplectic non-embedding result. A version of the Arnold-Givental conjecture for coisotropic submanifolds is also discussed.
