Let H:R2n+2→RH:\mathbb{R}^{2n+2}\to\mathbb{R}H:R2n+2→R have a strictly star-shaped level S=H−1(1)S=H^{-1}(1)S=H−1(1) and let Q=(x,T)Q=(x,T)Q=(x,T) be a periodic Reeb orbit on SSS. Let ZZZ be a unitary frame of ξ\xiξ along QQQ (a smooth 111-periodic family of linear isomorphisms Z(t):R2n→ξx(Tt)Z(t):\mathbb{R}^{2n}\to\xi_{x(Tt)}Z(t):R2n→ξx(Tt)​ with JZ=ZJ0JZ=ZJ_0JZ=ZJ0​ and ω0(Za,Zb)=⟨J0a,b⟩\omega_0(Za,Zb)=\langle J_0a,b\rangleω0​(Za,Zb)=⟨J0​a,b⟩), and let S∞S_\inftyS∞​ be a loop of 2n×2n2n\times 2n2n×2n matrices such that the asymptotic operator of QQQ takes the form AQ(Zη)=Z (−J0η′−S∞η)for all smooth 1-periodic η:R→R2n.A_Q(Z\eta)=Z\,(-J_0\eta'-S_\infty\eta)\qquad\text{for all smooth $1$-periodic }\eta:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}^{2n}.AQ​(Zη)=Z(−J0​η′−S∞​η)for all smooth 1-periodic η:R→R2n. Let Ψ\PsiΨ be the fundamental solution of S∞S_\inftyS∞​ (Ψ(0)=I\Psi(0)=IΨ(0)=I, Ψ′=J0S∞Ψ\Psi'=J_0S_\infty\PsiΨ′=J0​S∞​Ψ) and Φ\PhiΦ the linearized Reeb flow along QQQ (Φ(0)=id\Phi(0)=\mathrm{id}Φ(0)=id, Φ′(τ)=DR(x(τ))Φ(τ)\Phi'(\tau)=DR(x(\tau))\Phi(\tau)Φ′(τ)=DR(x(τ))Φ(τ)). Then

Φ(Tt) Z(0)a=Z(t) Ψ(t)afor all t∈R, a∈R2n.\Phi(Tt)\,Z(0)a=Z(t)\,\Psi(t)a\qquad\text{for all }t\in\mathbb{R},\ a\in\mathbb{R}^{2n}.Φ(Tt)Z(0)a=Z(t)Ψ(t)afor all t∈R, a∈R2n.

So in such a frame the linearized Reeb flow on ξ\xiξ, run at speed TTT, is the fundamental solution Ψ\PsiΨ of the matrix form of the asymptotic operator. This identifies the Conley–Zehnder data of QQQ (from Φ\PhiΦ) with the matrix data Ψ\PsiΨ used for the operator −J0∂t−S∞-J_0\partial_t-S_\infty−J0​∂t​−S∞​.

Formalization Note The setting is FiniteEnergyPlane on V n with CauchyRiemannIndex.Vec n =R2n=\mathbb{R}^{2n}=R2n and CauchyRiemannIndex.Mat n. The frame is IsUnitaryXiFrame J Q Z, the asymptotic operator is asympOp J Q, Φ\PhiΦ is IsLinReebFlow Q Φ and Ψ\PsiΨ is CauchyRiemannIndex.IsFundamentalSolution Sinf Ψ; matrices act through Matrix.toEuclideanLin. No compatibility hypothesis on J is assumed beyond the frame conditions; no symmetry or continuity of Sinf is assumed.

Formal statement
/-- Let `Z` be a unitary frame of `ξ` along a periodic Reeb orbit `Q = (x, T)` in which the
asymptotic operator takes the form `A_Q(Z η) = Z(-J₀ η' - S∞ η)` for smooth `1`-periodic `η`. Let
`Ψ` be the fundamental solution of `S∞` and `Φ` the linearized Reeb flow along `Q`. Then
`Φ(T t)(Z(0) a) = Z(t)(Ψ(t) a)` for all `t` and `a`. -/
