The left end of the Floer cylinder is required to be a lift of one of the loops in <span>(mathfrak {B})</span>, and the right end is required to lie on the zero section. Under certain assumptions on the Hamiltonian functions, the length of the Floer cylinder is a smooth proper function, and evaluating the level sets at the right end produces a family of loops cobordant to <span>(mathfrak {B})</span>. The argument produces arbitrarily long Floer cylinders with certain properties. We apply this to prove an existence result for 1-periodic orbits of certain Hamiltonian systems in cotangent bundles, and also to estimate the relative Gromov width of starshaped domains in certain cotangent bundles.
