The Ruelle invariant conjecture for ECH capacities of generic star-shaped domains

Let XX be a nice star-shaped domain in R4{\mathbb R}^4. Write ek(X)e_k(X) for the error term in the asymptotic formula recovering the volume of XX from its ECH capacities, and let Ru(X)\operatorname{Ru}(X) denote the Ruelle invariant of the contact form induced on X\partial X by the standard Liouville form. The Ruelle invariant conjecture. If XX is generic, then

limkek(X)=12Ru(X).\lim_{k\to\infty}e_k(X)=-\frac{1}{2}\operatorname{Ru}(X).

The conjecture predicts that the leading error in the ECH-capacity volume asymptotics is governed by the average rotation of the Reeb flow on the boundary. The paper gives a heuristic argument, but no resolution is supplied.
