Disk-like surfaces of section and symplectic capacities

Symplectic Geometry 2024-12-05 v2

Abstract

We prove that the cylindrical capacity of a dynamically convex domain in R4\mathbb{R}^4 agrees with the least symplectic area of a disk-like global surface of section of the Reeb flow on the boundary of the domain. Moreover, we prove the strong Viterbo conjecture for all convex domains in R4\mathbb{R}^4 which are sufficiently C3C^3 close to the round ball. This generalizes a result of Abbondandolo-Bramham-Hryniewicz-Salom\~{a}o establishing a systolic inequality for such domains.
