The Calabi invariant and the least number of periodic solutions of locally Hamiltonian equations

Original · EN

In this paper we prove a lower bound for the least number of one-periodic solutions of nondegenerate locally Hamiltonian equations on compact symplectic manifolds in terms of the Betti numbers of the Novikov homology associated to the Calabi invariant of the locally Hamiltonian equations. Our result improves lower bounds obtained by Lê-Ono and Ono for the least number of nondegenerate locally Hamiltonian symplectic fixed points. Our result also generalizes the homological Arnold conjecture proved by Fukaya-Ono and Liu-Tian.
