The star-shaped Reeb-orbit multiplicity conjecture

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Σ2n−1\Sigma^{2n-1} be the boundary of a star-shaped domain in R2n\mathbb{R}^{2n}, and let T(Σ)\mathcal{T}(\Sigma) denote the set of prime closed Reeb orbits on Σ\Sigma. Multiplicity conjecture. For each such Σ\Sigma,

#T(Σ)≥n.\#\mathcal{T}(\Sigma)\geq n.

This is a long-standing multiplicity conjecture. The paper summarizes proofs under pinching, index, non-degeneracy, or other additional assumptions, while the unrestricted statement remains open in general.
