Maximal systolic ratio conjecture for genus two abelian differentials

Let (X,dω)(X,d_{\omega}) be a genus two Riemann surface equipped with the flat metric induced by a holomorphic 11-form, and let the systolic ratio be the square of the systolic length divided by the area. Let SS be the surface described in Figure, whose systolic ratio is

2(133)23(134(133)2).\frac{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{13} -3 \right)^2}{\sqrt{3} \cdot \left(1-\frac{3}{4}(\sqrt{13}-3)^2\right)}.

Maximal systolic ratio conjecture. The supremum of the systolic ratio over genus two surfaces (X,dω)(X,d_{\omega}) equals

2(133)23(134(133)2),\frac{2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{13} -3 \right)^2}{\sqrt{3} \cdot \left(1-\frac{3}{4}(\sqrt{13}-3)^2\right)},

and, up to homothety, SS is the unique surface that achieves this systolic ratio.

This conjecture identifies the optimal flat geometry among genus two Riemann surfaces arising from abelian differentials, strengthening the comparison with the ten-systole example whose systolic ratio is 1/31/\sqrt{3}. Its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
