Abstract: We interpret the close link between the critical points of Mather's barrier functions and minimal homoclinic orbits with respect to the Aubry sets on $mathbb{T}^n$. We also prove a critical point theorem for barrier functions, and the existence of such homoclinic orbits on $mathbb{T}^2$ as an application.
