Viterbo's weak systolic conjecture for convex contact forms

Let b1b1 be a convex contact form on S2n1S^{2n-1}. Its systolic ratio is defined by

sys(S2n1,α)=min\mleft{{\mright}period T of an orbit}nvol(S2n1,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(S2n1,α)=S2n1αdαn1.\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(S2n1,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.
