Abstract: | For a manifold M, we prove that any function defined on a vector bundle of basis M and quadratic at infinity has at least Qcat(M)+1 critical points. Here Qcat(M) is a homotopically stable version of the LS-category defined by Scheerer, Stanley and Tanré [27]. The key homotopical result is that Qcat(M) can be identified with the relative LS-category of Fadell and Husseini [9] of the pair (M×D n+1 ,M×S n ) for n big enough. Combining this result with the work of Laudenbach and Sikorav [19], we obtain that if M is closed, for any hamiltonian diffeomorphism with compact support of T * M, #((M)M)Qcat(M)+1, which improves all previously known homotopical estimates of this intersection number.
