Abstract: There is a long standing conjecture in Hamiltonian analysis which claims that there exist at least n geometrically distinct closed characteristics on every compact convex hypersurface in R2n with nge2. Besides many partial results, this conjecture has been only completely solved for n=2. In this paper, we give a confirmed answer to this conjecture for n=3. In order to prove this result, we establish first a new resonance identity for closed characteristics on every compact convex hypersurface Sg in R2n when the number of geometrically distinct closed characteristics on Sg is finite. Then using this identity and earlier techniques of the index iteration theory, we prove the mentioned multiplicity result for R6. If there are exactly two geometrically distinct closed characteristics on a compact convex hypersuface in R4, we prove that both of them must be irrationally elliptic.
