In this paper, we study the behavior of the local Floer homology of an isolated fixed point and the growth of the action gap under iterations. To be more specific, we prove that an isolated fixed point of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism remains isolated for a certain class of iterations (the so-called admissible iterations) and that the local Floer homology groups for all such iterations are isomorphic to each other up to a shift of degree. Furthermore, we study the pair-of-pants product in local Floer homology, and characterize a particular class of isolated fixed points (the symplectically degenerate maxima), which plays an important role in the proof of the Conley conjecture. The proofs of these facts rely on an observation that for a general diffeomorphism, not necessarily Hamiltonian, an isolated fixed point remains isolated under all admissible iterations. Finally, we apply these results to show that for a quasi-arithmetic sequence of admissible iterations of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with isolated fixed points the minimal action gap is bounded from above when the ambient manifold is closed and symplectically aspherical. This theorem is a generalization of the Conley conjecture.
