Abstract: In this paper we consider the Maslov S^{1}bundles of a symplectic manifold (M,omega), which refer to both the determinant bundle (denoted by Gamma_{J}) of the unitary frame bundle and the bundle Gamma_{J}^{2}=Gamma_{J}�ig/{pm1}. The sympletic action of a compact Lie group G on M can be lifted to group actions on the principal S^{1} bundles Gamma_{J} and Gamma_{J}^{2}. In this work we study the interplay between the geometry of the Maslov S^{1} bundles and the dynamics of the group action on M. We show that when M is a homogeneous G-space and the first real Chern class c_{Gamma} is nonvanishing, Gamma_{J} and Gamma_{J}^{2} are also homogeneous G-spaces. We also show that when [omega]=rcdot c_{Gamma} for some real number r, then the G action is Hamiltonian and the Hamiltonians assume particular forms. In the end, we study a function called the �eta-Maslov data of a symplectic S^{1} action with respect to a connection 1-form �eta on Gamma_{J}^{2}, which serves as the nonintegrable version of the notion of Maslov indices when Gamma_{J}^{2} is not a trivial bundle.
