Abstract: We study periodic orbits on a nondegenerate dynamically convex starshaped hypersurface in $mathbb{R}^{2n}$ along the lines of Long and Zhu, but using properties of the $S^1$-equivariant symplectic homology. We prove that there exist at least $n$ distinct simple periodic orbits on any nondegenerate starshaped hypersurface in $mathbb{R}^{2n}$ satisfying the condition that the minimal Conley-Zehnder index is at least $n-1$. The condition is weaker than dynamical convexity.

Review text

Let \((\Sigma, \alpha)\) be a star-shaped hypersurface in \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\), together with its standard contact form \(\alpha\) which is the restriction of the global \(1\)-form \(\lambda := \frac{1}{2}\sum_{j=1}^{n}(x^{j}dy^{j}-y^{j}dx^{j})\). The \textit{Reeb vector field} \(R_{\alpha}\) corresponding to \(\alpha\) is the unique vector field satisfying \(d\alpha(R_{\alpha}, \cdot)=0\) and \(\alpha(R_{\alpha})=1\). The authors prove (Theorem 1.1) that if \((\Sigma, \alpha)\) is nondegenerate (i.e., all periodic orbits are nondegenerate) and dynamically convex (i.e., every periodic orbit has Conley-Zehnder index at least \(n+1\)) then \(R_{\alpha}\) has at least \(n\) even simple periodic orbits. This is a generalization of a similar result contained in [\textit{Y. Long} and \textit{C. Zhu}, Ann. Math. (2) 155, No. 2, 317--368 (2002; Zbl 1028.53003)] proven under the stronger assumption that \(\Sigma\) bounds a strictly convex compact set with nonempty interior. Furthermore, it is shown (Theorem 1.4) that, for multiplicity results, the condition of dynamical convexity can be further weakened. Specifically, the authors prove that if every periodic orbit has Conley-Zehnder index at least \(n-1\) then \(R_{\alpha}\) has at least \(n\) simple periodic orbits.
