Abstract: The Hofer-Zehnder theorem states that almost every hypersurface in a thickening of a hypersurface $S$ in a symplectic manifold $(M,omega)$ carries a closed characteristic provided that $S$ bounds a compact submanifold and $(M,omega)$ has finite capacity. We show that it is enough to assume that the thickening of $S$ has finite capacity.
