N2 - In this paper Hamiltonian system of time dependent periodic Newton equations is studied. It is shown that for dimensions 3 and higher the following rigidity results holds true: if all the orbits in a neighborhood of infinity are action minimizing then the potential must be constant. This gives a generalization of the previous result Bialy and Polterovich (Math Res Lett 2(6):695–700, 1995), where it was required all the orbits to be minimal. As a result we have the following application: suppose that for the time-1 map of the Hamiltonian flow there exists a neighborhood of infinity which is filled by invariant Lagrangian tori homologous to the zero section. Then the potential must be constant. Remarkably, the statement is false for n= 1 case and remains unknown to the author for n= 2.
