Abstract.

Let \(\Sigma\) be a compact \(C^2\) hypersurface in \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) bounding a convex set with non-empty interior. In this paper it is proved that there always exist at least n geometrically distinct closed characteristics on \(\Sigma\) if \(\Sigma\) is symmetric with respect to the origin.
