The authors consider the setting of Hamiltonian flows defined on a 2\(n\)-dimensional compact symplectic manifold \((M,\omega)\) where \(n\geq 2\). In this generalization of their previous results [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 149, No. 2, 373--383 (2010; Zbl 1209.37062)] to higher dimensions, they prove that any Hamiltonian star system defined on a \(2n\)-dimensional compact symplectic manifold is Anosov. As a consequence, they prove the stability conjecture for Hamiltonians. The key ingredient is the following dichotomy for \(C^1\) divergence-free vector fields: a periodic orbit of large period either admits a dominated splitting of a prescribed strength or can be turned into a parabolic one by a \(C^1\)-small perturbation along the orbit.
