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 $C^{\ast }$-algebra $A$, is an element in $K_0(A)$. 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.
