Allais' spectral selector conjecture for orderable contact manifolds

Let (M,ξ)(M,\xi) be a closed orderable contact manifold, meaning that it admits no positive contractible loop of contactomorphisms. Let α\alpha be any contact form supporting ξ\xi, and let c+αc_+^\alpha be the associated map from the universal cover of the identity component of the contactomorphism group to R\mathbb{R}. A map is an α\alpha-spectral selector when it has the spectrality property associated with the α\alpha-Reeb dynamics. Allais' spectral selector conjecture. If (M,ξ)(M,\xi) is a closed orderable contact manifold, then c+αc_+^\alpha is an α\alpha-spectral selector for every contact form α\alpha supporting ξ\xi. This conjecture would supply the missing spectrality property for the contact capacity construction; the cited work establishes other selector properties, but spectrality remains open.
