Abstract: In this article we study Hamiltonian flows associated to smooth functions $H:mathbb{R}^{4}omathbbR$ restricted to energy levels close to critical levels. We assume the existence of a saddle-center equilibrium point $p_c$ in the zero energy level $H^{-1}(0)$. The Hamiltonian function near $p_c$ is assumed to satisfy Moser's normal form and $p_c$ is assumed to lie in a strictly convex singular subset $S_0$ of $H^{-1}(0)$. Then for all $E>0$ small, the energy level $H^{-1}(E)$ contains a subset $S_E$ near $S_0$, diffeomorphic to the closed $3$-ball, which admits a system of transversal sections $mathcal{F}_E$, called a $2-3$ foliation. $mathcal{F}_E$ is a singular foliation of $S_E$ and contains two periodic orbits $P_{2,E}subsetpartial{S}_E$ and $P_{3,E}subset{S}_{E}setminuspartial{S}_E$ as binding orbits. $P_{2,E}$ is the Lyapunoff orbit lying in the center manifold of $p_c$, has Conley-Zehnder index $2$ and spans two rigid planes in $partial{S}_E$. $P_{3,E}$ has Conley-Zehnder index $3$ and spans a one parameter family of planes in $S_{E}setminuspartial{S}_E$. A rigid cylinder connecting $P_{3,E}$ to $P_{2,E}$ completes $mathcal{F}_E$. All regular leaves are transverse to the Hamiltonian vector field. The existence of a homoclinic orbit to $P_{2,E}$ in $S_{E}setminuspartial{S}_E$ follows from this foliation.
