Abstract: Joint work with Mário Bessa and Jorge Rocha. We consider the setting of Hamiltonian systems, defined on a $2d$-dimensional symplectic manifold $M$ ($d \geq 2$). We address the following results, that we proved recently: - A Hamiltonian star system is Anosov. As a consequence we obtain the proof of the stability conjecture for Hamiltonians. This generalizes the $4$-dimensional results in [1]. -A Hamiltonian system $H$ is Anosov if any of the following statements holds: $H$ is robustly topologically stable; $H$ is stably shadowable; $H$ is stably expansive; and $H$ has the stable weak specification property. Moreover, for a $C^2$-generic Hamiltonian $H\in C^2(M,\mathbb{R})$, the union of the partially hyperbolic regular energy hypersurfaces and the closed elliptic orbits, forms a dense subset of $M$. As a consequence, any robustly transitive regular energy hypersurface of a $C^2$-Hamiltonian is partially hyperbolic. Finally, stably weakly shadowable regular energy hypersurfaces are partially hyperbolic. [1] M. Bessa, C. Ferreira and J.
