Conley conjecture and local Floer homology (Q1626640)

This paper presents a simple proof of the Conley conjecture for closed manifolds with aspherical symplectic form. A preliminary main result is that the pair-of-pants product in local Floer homology is non-uniformly nilpotent unless the periodic orbit is a symplectically degenerate maximum. Then this fact is used to prove that on a closed symplectic manifold the mean action spectrum of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with isolated periodic orbits is infinite.
