Unimodality conjecture for symplectically rational 8-manifolds

Let (M,ω)(M,\omega) be a closed symplectically rational 88-manifold admitting a Hamiltonian S1S^1-action. The even Betti numbers of MM are unimodal, meaning that they are weakly increasing up to the middle degree.

Unimodality conjecture. If (M,ω)(M,\omega) is a closed symplectically rational 88-manifold admitting a Hamiltonian S1S^1-action, then the even Betti numbers of MM are unimodal.

This conjecture extends known unimodality results for certain 88-dimensional closed symplectic manifolds with Hamiltonian S1S^1-actions. Its status is not specified in the source.
