Abstract
The periodic orbit conjecture states that, on closed manifolds, the set of lengths of the orbits of a non-vanishing vector field all whose orbits are closed admits an upper bound. This conjecture is known to be false in general due to a counterexample by Sullivan. However, it is satisfied under the geometric condition of being geodesible. In this work, we use the recent characterization of Eulerisable flows (or more generally flows admitting a strongly adapted one-form) to prove that the conjecture remains true for this larger class of vector fields.
