Sharp systolic inequalities for invariant tight contact forms on principal S1-bundles over S2
Abstract
The systole of a contact form is defined as the shortest period of closed Reeb orbits of . Given a non-trivial -principal bundle over with total space , we prove a sharp systolic inequality for the class of tight contact form on invariant under the -action. This inequality exhibits a behavior which depends on the Euler class of the bundle in a subtle way. As applications, we prove a sharp systolic inequality for rotationally symmetric Finsler metrics on , a systolic inequality for the shortest contractible closed Reeb orbit, and a particular case of a conjecture by Viterbo.
