Viterbo's spectral bound conjecture for cotangent bundles

Let (M,g)(M,g)) be a closed Riemannian manifold. Define

DTM{(x,ξ)TMξg1}DT^*M\coloneqq \{(x,\xi)\in T^*M\mid \|\xi\|_g\le 1\}

and let 0M0_M denote the image of the zero section of TMT^*M. For a compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphism ϕHamc(TM)\phi\in\operatorname{Ham}_c(T^*M), let γ(ϕ(0M))\gamma(\phi(0_M)) denote the spectral invariant of the image of the zero section. Viterbo conjecture. There exists a constant R>0R>0 such that, if ϕHamc(TM)\phi\in\operatorname{Ham}_c(T^*M) satisfies

ϕ(0M)DTM,\phi(0_M)\subset DT^*M,

then

γ(ϕ(0M))<R.\gamma(\phi(0_M))<R.

This conjecture is a spectral bound for images of the zero section contained in the unit cotangent disk bundle; the source notes that it was first conjectured by Viterbo in the special case M=TnM=T^n.
