# Survival of infinitely many critical points for the Rabinowitz action functional

• In this paper, we show that if Rabinowitz Floer homology has infinite dimension, there exist infinitely many critical points of a Rabinowitz action functional even though it could be non-Morse. This result is proved by examining filtered Rabinowitz Floer homology.
