Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $L:TMrightarrow mathbb R$ be a Tonelli Lagrangian. In this thesis we study the existence of orbits of the Euler-Lagrange flow associated with $L$ satisfying suitable boundary conditions. We first look for orbits connecting two given closed submanifolds of $M$ satisfying the conormal boundary conditions: We introduce the Ma~ne critical value that is relevant for the problem and prove existence results for supercritical and subcritical energies; we also complement these with counterexamples, thus showing the sharpness of our results. We then move to the problem of finding periodic orbits: We provide an existence result of periodic orbits for non-aspherical manifolds generalizing the Lusternik-Fet Theorem, and a multiplicity result in case the configuration space is the 2-torus.

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold, $L: TMrightarrow mathbb R$ be a Tonelli Lagrangian. Given two closed submanifolds $Q_0$ and $Q_1$ of $M$ and a real number $k$, we study the existence of Euler-Lagrange orbits with energy $k$ connecting $Q_0$ to $Q_1$ and satisfying the conormal boundary conditions. We introduce the Ma~ne critical value which is relevant for this problem and discuss existence results for supercritical and subcritical energies. We also provide counterexamples showing that all the results are sharp.
In this paper, we show the existence of non contractible periodic orbits in Hamiltonian systems defined on $T^*T^n$ separating two Lagrangian tori under certain cone assumption. Our result answers a question of Polterovich in cite{P} in a sharp way. As an application, we find periodic orbits of almost all the homotopy types on a dense set of energy level in Lorentzian type mechanical Hamiltonian systems defined on $T^*T^2$. This solves a problem of Arnold in cite{A}.
It is proved that a certain type of monotone flow has a global period provided periodic points are dense.
Let X be a connected open set in n-dimensional Euclidean space, partially ordered by a closed convex cone K with nonempty interior: y > x if and only if y-x is nonzero and in K. Theorem: If F is a monotone local flow in X whose periodic points are dense in X, then F is globally periodic.
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $sigma$ be a closed 2-form on $M$ representing an integer cohomology class. In this paper, using symplectic reduction, we show how the problem of existence of closed magnetic geodesics for the magnetic flow of the pair $(g,sigma)$ can be interpreted as a critical point problem for a Rabinowitz-type action functional defined on the cotangent bundle $T^*E$ of a suitable $S^1$-bundle $E$ over $M$ or, equivalently, as a critical point problem for a Lagrangian-type action functional defined on the free loopspace of $E$. We then study the relation between the stability property of energy hypersurfaces in $(T^*M,dpwedge dq+pi^*sigma)$ and of the corresponding codimension 2 coisotropic submanifolds in $(T^*E,dpwedge dq)$ arising via symplectic reduction. Finally, we reprove the main result of [9] in this setting.
