In this section, we discuss the notion of B-signature, or B-signs, introduced by the first author and Urs Frauenfelder in [FM], associated to a symmetric periodic orbit (see also [Ay22]).
Consider a Wonenburger matrix
The following result illustrates the uses of these signs, as they give information on the type of periodic orbit.
Theorem 2 ([FMb]). A symmetric periodic orbit of a Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom is negative hyperbolic if and only if its two B-signs are different.
