The general ECH volume conjecture for graded classes

Let (Y,λ)(Y,\lambda) be a closed connected contact 33-manifold, let ΓH1(Y)\Gamma\in H_1(Y), and suppose that

c1(ξ)+2PD(Γ)H2(Y;Z)c_1(\xi)+2\operatorname{PD}(\Gamma)\in H^2(Y;\mathbb Z)

is torsion. Choose an absolute Z\mathbb Z-grading on ECH(Y,λ,Γ)ECH(Y,\lambda,\Gamma), and let {σk}k=1,2,\{\sigma_k\}_{k=1,2,\ldots} be a sequence of elements of ECH(Y,λ,Γ)ECH(Y,\lambda,\Gamma) with definite gradings satisfying limkI(σk)=\lim_{k\to\infty}I(\sigma_k)=\infty.

General ECH volume conjecture.

limkcσk(Y,λ)2I(σk)=vol(Y,λ).\lim_{k\to\infty}\frac{c_{\sigma_k}(Y,\lambda)^2}{I(\sigma_k)}=\operatorname{vol}(Y,\lambda).

Here I(σk)I(\sigma_k) denotes the chosen absolute grading and cσk(Y,λ)c_{\sigma_k}(Y,\lambda) the associated spectral invariant. This generalizes the distinguished-spectrum volume conjecture and is intended to describe the asymptotics of quantitative ECH for arbitrary sequences of sufficiently high-graded classes. It remains open in the stated generality.
