Resonance identities and stability of symmetric closed characteristics on symmetric compact star-shaped hypersurfaces. (English) Zbl 1357.37083

Summary: So far, it is still unknown whether all the closed characteristics on a symmetric compact star-shaped hypersurface \(\Sigma\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) are symmetric. In order to understand behaviors of such orbits, in this paper we establish first two new resonance identities for symmetric closed characteristics on symmetric compact star-shaped hypersurface \(\Sigma\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) when there exist only finitely many geometrically distinct symmetric closed characteristics on \(\Sigma\), which extend the identity established by H. Liu and Y. Long [J. Differ. Equations 255, No. 9, 2952–2980 (2013; Zbl 1321.37060)] for symmetric strictly convex hypersurfaces. Then as an application of these identities and the identities established by H. Liu et al. [J. Funct. Anal. 266, No. 9, 5598–5638 (2014; Zbl 1347.37099)] for all closed characteristics on the same hypersurface, we prove that if there exist exactly two geometrically distinct closed characteristics on a symmetric compact star-shaped hypersuface in \(\mathbb{R}^4\), then both of them must be elliptic.
