In v2 we circumvent this by working with a model involving Lagrangian boundary conditions instead of totally real ones. Parts of the holomorphic analysis in v1 for the case of totally real boundary conditions may be of independent interest

Abstract

We give a dynamical characterisation of odd-dimensional balls within the class of all contact manifolds whose boundary is a standard even-dimensional sphere. The characterisation is in terms of the non-existence of short periodic Reeb orbits.
