Viterbo's symplectic isoperimetric conjecture

Let (R2n,ω0)(\mathbb{R}^{2n},\omega_0) be standard symplectic space, let cc be a symplectic capacity, and let Σ(R2n,ω0)\Sigma\subset(\mathbb{R}^{2n},\omega_0) be a convex domain. Write vol\operatorname{vol} for symplectic volume.

Viterbo's conjecture.

c(Σ)c(B22n)(vol(Σ)vol(B22n))1/n.\frac{c(\Sigma)}{c(B_2^{2n})}\leq\left(\frac{\operatorname{vol}(\Sigma)}{\operatorname{vol}(B_2^{2n})}\right)^{1/n}.

The conjecture is an isoperimetric inequality for symplectic capacities, asserting that the Euclidean ball optimizes the capacity-to-volume relation among convex domains. The source describes it as open, while noting that a special six-dimensional case was solved positively.
