Allais' spectrality conjecture for the contact spectral invariant

Let (M,kerα)(M,\ker\alpha) be a closed orderable contact manifold, and let Cont0~(M,kerα)\widetilde{\operatorname{Cont}_0}(M,\ker\alpha) denote the universal cover of the identity component of its contactomorphism group. The map c+αc_+^\alpha is defined by the order relation with the Reeb flow. A map is α\alpha-spectral when its value belongs to the appropriate spectrum associated with the contact isotopy. Allais' spectrality conjecture. If (M,kerα)(M,\ker\alpha) is a closed orderable contact manifold, then

c+α:Cont0~(M,kerα)Rc_+^\alpha: \widetilde{\operatorname{Cont}_0}(M,\ker\alpha)\to\mathbb{R}

is α\alpha-spectral. This is the spectrality formulation used to obtain conjugation-invariance consequences for the rounded invariant; the other listed properties are known in the cited context, while this spectrality assertion remains open.
