Abstract
In this paper we develop a new approach to the theory of Fourier integ ral operators. It allows us to represent the Schwartz kernel of a Four ier integral operator by one oscillatory integral with a complex phase function. We consider Fourier integral operators associated with cano nical transformations, having in mind applications to hyperbolic equat ions. As a by-product we obtain yet another formula for the Maslov ind ex. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
