Conjecture on contact type for positive magnetic curvature

Let (S2,g,σ)(S^2,g,\sigma) be a symplectic magnetic system. For m>0m>0, define the magnetic curvature on the energy level Σm\Sigma_m by

Km:=m2K+1.K_m:=m^2K+1.

Assume that KmK_m is positive. Contact-type conjecture. Then Σm\Sigma_m is of contact type. This conjecture concerns whether positivity of the magnetic curvature suffices for the contact property on every energy level; numerical computations for ellipsoids support it, while the general statement remains open.
