Convexity conjecture for the positive total Hofer norm

Let (M,ω)(M,\omega) be the symplectic manifold under consideration and let fHam(M,ω)f\in \operatorname{Ham}(M,\omega). Define the positive total Hofer norm as the function assigning to each nNn\in\mathbb{N} the coefficient fn+\|f\|_n^+ of the polynomial fT+=k0fk+tk\|f\|_T^+=\sum_{k\geq 0}\|f\|_k^+t^k. Convexity conjecture. For all g>0g>0,

fg+1+fg+fg+fg1+.\|f\|_{g+1}^+-\|f\|_g^+\leq \|f\|_g^+-\|f\|_{g-1}^+.

The conjecture asserts a regularity property for the sequence of positive gg-areas and is presented as the principal conjecture concerning their behaviour. Its status is not determined by the supplied text.
