Abstract: | We prove that for a uniformly convex Lagrangian system L on a compact manifold M, almost all energy levels contain a periodic orbit. We also prove that below Mañé's critical value of the lift of the Lagrangian to the universal cover, c u (L), almost all energy levels have conjugate points. We in addition prove that if an energy level is of contact type, projects onto M and $M\ne{\mathbb T}^2We prove that for a uniformly convex Lagrangian system L on a compact manifold M, almost all energy levels contain a periodic orbit.
