Periodic orbits and Birkhoff sections of stable Hamiltonian structures

From MaRDI portal





Stable Hamiltonian structures generalize contact forms and give rise to volume-preserving vector fields known as Reeb vector fields. In this work, the authors investigate the dynamics of Reeb flows associated with stable Hamiltonian structures on closed 3-manifolds. Under a nondegeneracy assumption, the authors provide a complete classification of those structures whose Reeb flows possess only finitely many periodic orbits. In addition, they establish sufficient criteria for the existence of supporting broken book decompositions and Birkhoff sections. These results offer new insights into the global dynamics of Reeb vector fields beyond the contact setting and deepen the connection between 3-dimensional topology and Hamiltonian dynamics.
