Magnus conjecture for twisted geodesic flows

Let MM be a manifold, let σ\sigma be a symplectic form on MM, and let HH be the twisted geodesic Hamiltonian on TMT^*M. Magnus conjecture. For every MM and any symplectic form σ\sigma, a neighborhood of MM in TMT^*M has finite Hofer--Zehnder capacity. Moreover, almost all levels of HH carry periodic orbits. When σ\sigma is symplectic, every low energy level of HH has a contractible periodic orbit. The conjecture would extend finite-capacity and periodic-orbit results from special twisted cotangent bundles to arbitrary manifolds and magnetic forms; the supplied context records partial results under additional assumptions.
