Systolic lower-bound conjecture for Hofer–Zehnder capacity

Let MnM^n be an essential closed Riemannian manifold of dimension nn. Let π1(M)\langle \pi_1(M)\rangle' denote the set of non-trivial conjugacy classes of the fundamental group, and let DMDM be the unit disc bundle of MM. The quantity CHZ(DM,π1(M))C_{HZ}(DM,\langle \pi_1(M)\rangle') is the Hofer–Zehnder capacity sensitive to these non-trivial classes.

Systolic capacity conjecture. There is a constant DnD_n depending only on nn such that

(VolM)1nDnCHZ(DM,π1(M)).(\operatorname{Vol} M)^{\frac 1n} \leqslant D_n \cdot C_{HZ}(DM,\langle \pi_1(M)\rangle').

The conjecture is motivated by the relation between Hofer–Zehnder capacities and systolic constants, together with Gromov's systolic inequality. Its resolution is not specified in the supplied material.
