Subharmonic solutions of Hamiltonian equations on tori (Q731191)

The author proves the following very interesting result: Let \(T^{2n}\) be the torus equipped with the standard symplectic structure and a periodic Hamiltonian \(H\). If the Hamiltonian flow has only finitely many orbits with the same period as \(H\), then there are subharmonic solutions with arbitrary high period. Thus there are always infinitely many distinct periodic orbits. This property was conjectured by C. Conley [see the paper of \textit{D. Salamon} and \textit{E. Zehnder}, Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 45, No. 10, 1303--1360 (1992; Zbl 0766.58023)] and it was proved by \textit{C. Conley} and \textit{E. Zehnder} [Physica A 124, 649--658 (1984; Zbl 0605.58015)] in the nondegenerate case. The author of the present paper studied a similar phenomenon for closed geodesics [Int. Math. Res. Not. 1993, No. 9, 253--262 (1993; Zbl 0809.53053); Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 125, No. 10, 3099--3106 (1997; Zbl 0889.58026)].
