Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0733.00016.] The main result of the paper is the theorem of existence of \(n+1\) periodic orbits for any given rotation vector field (and \(2^ n\) when they are nondegenerate) for a large class of exact symplectic maps of the \(n\)-dimensional annulus \({\mathbb{T}}^ n\times{\mathbb{R}}^ n\). The author considers the variational setting of Aubry [\textit{S. Aubry} and \textit{P. Y. LeDaeron}, Physica 8D, 381-422 (1983)] for twist maps of the annulus as generalized by \textit{D. Bernstein} and \textit{A. B. Katok} [Invent. Math. 88, 225-241 (1987; Zbl 0642.58040)] to higher dimensions. This discrete setting generates symplectic maps called by the author monotone ones. The theorem if proved for these maps provided some boundary conditions. The maps are not required to be close to integrable, their convexity conditions are relaxed with respect to the above paper by Bernstein and Katok.
