Abstract
The Morse index is an essential quantity in understanding the second variation of a geometric functional. In this paper, we study an abstract formulation of that concept in the context of a variational problem with constraints. Particularly, we examine the index and nullity of a symmetric bounded bilinear form in a Hilbert space and determine quantitatively how they change when restricting to a subspace of a finite codimension.
