We study periodic orbits of the Reeb vector field on a nondegenerate dynamically convex starshaped hypersurface in ℝ 2n along the lines of Long and Zhu [24], 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 ℝ 2n satisfying the condition that the minimal Conley–Zehnder index is at least n-1. The condition is weaker than dynamical convexity.

Nous étudions les orbites périodiques du champ de Reeb sur les hypersurfaces non-dégénérées et dynamiquement convexes de ℝ 2n en suivant les travaux de Long et Zhu mais en utilisant l’homologie symplectique S 1 -équivariante. Nous démontrons qu’il existe au moins n orbites simples de Reeb sur toute hypersurface étoil�e et non dégénérée de ℝ 2n satisfaisant la condition que le plus petit indice de Conley–Zehnder est au moins n-1. Cette dernière condition est plus faible que celle de convexité dynamique.
