Abstract: We define and prove a noncommutative generalization of a formula relating the Maslov index of a triple of Lagrangian subspaces of a symplectic vector space to eta-invariants associated to a pair of Lagrangian subspaces generalizing a result of Bunke and Koch in the family case. The noncommutative Maslov index, defined for modules over a C-algebra A, is an element in K0(A). The generalized formula calculates its Chern character in the de Rham homology of certain dense subalgebras of A. The proof, modelled on the proof by Bunke and Koch, is a noncommutative Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem for a particular Dirac operator twisted by an A-vector bundle. We develop an analytic framework for this type of index problem.
