Let $X$ be a hamiltonian vector field on the plane. Then either has no closed orbit or it has infinite number of closed orbit. Now what can be said about higher dimensional hamiltonian vector fields? Is there a hamiltonian vector field on R^4 which has a finite number of periodic orbits?
Please see the following corresponding MO link:
