Stability of the brake orbits on reversible symmetric compact convex hypersurfaces in \(R^{2n}\) (Q523347): Difference between revisions

Suppose \(H\in C^2(\mathbb R^{2n}\setminus \{0\}, \mathbb R )\cap C^1(\mathbb R ^{2n}, \mathbb R)\) satisfies the reversible condition \(H(Nx)=H(x)\). Solutions \((\tau , x)\) of the Hamiltonian system: \[ \begin{cases} \dot{x}=JH'(x(t)); \\ H(x(t))=h, \\ x(-t)=Nx(t), \\ x(\tau +t)=x(t), \end{cases} \] are called brake orbits on the hypersurface \(\Sigma =\{y\in \mathbb R^{2n} | H(y)=h\). The authors prove that if a reversible symmetric compact convex hypersurface \(\Sigma\) possesses exactly \(n\) brake orbits with \(n\geq \#\), than there are at least \(n-2\) of them which have irrational mean indices.
