| contents | We study the generic behavior of Hamiltonian trajectories on a regular level set in the cotangent bundle, after projection to the base. We prove that for a generic submersive level set, projected trajectories have discrete (self-)intersections. Additionally, fixing end-point fibers, we prove that all intersections can be perturbed away if the base has dimension at least three. In particular, this applies to periodic orbits, and both results hold for Reeb flows on fiber-wise star-shaped hypersurfaces, including non-reversible Finsler flows, which answers a question of Rademacher. In the proof we make use of a multi-jet transversality theorem. |
