Stability conjecture for the edge points of linear steps

Let a,b1a,b\geqslant 1 be real numbers, and for N3N\geqslant 3 let cbN(a)c_b^N(a) denote the stabilized symplectic embedding capacity, while cb(a)c_b(a) denotes the corresponding four-dimensional capacity. The edge points are the values of aa occurring at the ends of the linear steps in the graph of cb(a)c_b(a). Stability conjecture. At every edge point of a linear step, one has

cbN(a)=cb(a)for all N3.c_b^N(a)=c_b(a)\quad\text{for all }N\geqslant 3.

The preceding folding argument gives an upper bound for the stabilized capacity, and the conjecture asserts that stabilization does not improve the capacity at these distinguished points. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
