Abstract: We obtain sufficient conditions for bifurcation of homoclinic trajectories of nonautonomous Hamiltonian vector fields parametrized by a circle, together with estimates for the number of bifurcation points in terms of the Maslov index of the asymptotic stable and unstable bundles of the linearization at the stationary branch.
