Periodicity characterization by capacities for star-shaped domains

Abstract

We complete the spectral characterization of Besse and Zoll Reeb flows on the standard contact sphere $S^{2n-1}$ initiated by Ginzburg-Gürel-Mazzucchelli. Roughly speaking, it states that a Reeb flow on the boundary of any star-shaped domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^{2n}$ is Besse if and only if it has $n$ coinciding Ekeland-Hofer capacities, and that it is Zoll if and only if the first $n$ capacities coincide.
