The volume conjecture for four-dimensional Liouville domains

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a four-dimensional Liouville domain such that ck(X,ω)<c_k(X,\omega)<\infty for all kk.

Volume conjecture.

limkck(X,ω)2k=4vol(X,ω).\lim_{k\to\infty}\frac{c_k(X,\omega)^2}{k}=4\operatorname{vol}(X,\omega).

Here vol(X,ω)=12Xωω\operatorname{vol}(X,\omega)=\frac{1}{2}\int_X\omega\wedge\omega is the symplectic volume. The conjecture predicts that the asymptotic ECH-capacity obstruction recovers the volume obstruction for symplectic embeddings. It is verified in several examples and admits general lower-bound and inheritance results, but is not established for all four-dimensional Liouville domains.
