The infinite spectral-diameter conjecture for symplectic manifolds

About 1 year old · traced to

Let (M,ω)(M,\omega) be a compact symplectic manifold, and let γ\gamma be the Floer-theoretic pseudometric on the universal cover of Ham(M)\mathrm{Ham}(M). Assume that ω\omega vanishes on π2(M)\pi_{2}(M). Infinite spectral-diameter conjecture. The diameter of γ\gamma is infinite. This folklore conjecture concerns the large-scale geometry of Hamiltonian diffeomorphism groups and is motivated by the spectral pseudometric from Hamiltonian Floer theory. Its resolution is not specified in the source.
