Viterbo's weak systolic conjecture for convex contact forms

About 6 years old · traced to

Let b1b1 be a convex contact form on S2n−1S^{2n-1}. Its systolic ratio is defined by

sys⁡(S2n−1,α)=min⁡\mleft{{\mright}period T of an orbit}nvol⁡(S2n−1,α),\operatorname{sys}(S^{2n-1},\alpha)=\frac{\operatorname{min}\mleft\{{\{}\mright\}\text{period }T\text{ of an orbit}\}^n}{\operatorname{vol}(S^{2n-1},\alpha)},

where

vol⁡(S2n−1,α)=∫S2n−1α∧dαn−1.\operatorname{vol}(S^{2n-1},\alpha)=\int_{S^{2n-1}}\alpha\wedge d\alpha^{n-1}.

Viterbo's weak conjecture. The systolic ratio satisfies

sys⁡(S2n−1,α)≤1.\operatorname{sys}(S^{2n-1},\alpha)\leq 1.

This conjecture is a systolic inequality for Reeb flows on convex contact boundaries. It is the weak Viterbo conjecture originally proposed by Viterbo; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
