Abstract: There is a long standing conjecture that there are at least n closed characteristics for any compact convex hypersurface Sigma in mathbbR2n, and the symmetric case, i.e. Sigma=−Sigma, has already been proved by C. Liu, Y. Long and C. Zhu in [Math. Ann., 323(2002), pp. 201-215]. In this paper, we extend the result in that paper to the P-symmetric case Sigma=PSigma for a certain class of symplectic matrix P, and prove that there are at least [frac3n4] closed characteristics on Sigma for any positive integer n, where [a]:=suplinmathbbZ,lleqa. To obtain our result, the key problem is to estimate (3.13) in which the method is based on the theorem called Common Index Jump Theorem. By using the Bott-type iteration formulas of Maslov index and Maslov-type index for a certain kind of iteration symplectic path, we provide the some new estimations (4.9-4.11), which are not considered in other papers.
