Surjectivity of barcode beginning/end maps in general

Determine whether, without assuming the hypotheses of Theorem C, the beginning and end maps from the barcode of filtered symplectic homology, Beg: B→P and End: B→P, are surjective onto the set P of F-visible closed Reeb orbits.

Background

The authors construct maps that associate to each bar in the barcode its beginning and end orbits, with surjectivity established under the specific pseudo-rotation hypotheses of Theorem C. In general settings, the surjectivity of these maps remains unknown.

Surjectivity would imply that every F-visible closed orbit appears as an endpoint of some bar, strengthening the link between local homology and global filtered symplectic homology.

References

We will see later that in the setting of Theorem C and as a consequence of that theorem, the maps Beg and End are onto. We do not know if this is true in general.
