Quantitative separation conjecture for Aarnes and symplectic quasi-states

From papers

Let MM be a closed connected symplectic manifold with symplectic form ω\omega, and endow MM with a metric inducing its topology. Let S(M,ω){\mathcal{S}}(M,\omega) be the collection of symplectic quasi-states on (M,ω)(M,\omega), and let Δ(M)\Delta(M) be the set of delta-measures on MM. Then there exists a neighborhood U{\mathcal{U}} of Δ(M)\Delta(M) in the space of quasi-states on MM, and a constant c(0,1]c\in(0,1], such that every Aarnes quasi-state ζU\zeta\in{\mathcal{U}} satisfies

W1(ζ,S(M,ω))cW1(ζ,Δ(M)).W_1(\zeta,{\mathcal{S}}(M,\omega))\geq c\cdot W_1(\zeta,\Delta(M)).

This proposes a quantitative refinement of the result that, on a closed connected symplectic manifold with H1(M;Z)=0H^1(M;{\mathbb{Z}})=0 and dimension at least four, the intersection of the collections of Aarnes and symplectic quasi-states consists exactly of delta-measures. It asserts that near the delta-measures, an Aarnes quasi-state remains quantitatively separated from the symplectic quasi-states in proportion to its distance from the delta-measures.
