Small positive loops on overtwisted manifolds (Q508082)

The following two statements on closed overtwisted contact 3-manifolds are proved: I. Let \((M,\xi=\ker\alpha)\) be a closed contact overtwisted 3-manifold. Then there exists a real positive constant \(C(\alpha)\) such that any positive loop \(\{\phi_\theta\}\) of contactomorphisms which is generated by a contact Hamiltonian \(H:M\times S^1\to\mathbb{R}_+\) satisfies \(\| H\|_{C^0}\geq C(\alpha)\). II. Let \((M,\xi=\ker\alpha)\) be a closed overtwisted contact 3-manifold. Then there exists a real positive constant \(C(\alpha)\) such that any positive loop of contactomorphisms \(\{\phi_\theta\}\) which is generated by a contact Hamiltonian \(H_\theta\), \(\theta\in S^1\), satisfies \[ \int^1_0\| H_\theta\|_{C^0}\,d\theta\geq C(\alpha). \]
