Abstract: We show that the minimal symplectic area of Lagrangian submanifolds are universally bounded in symplectically aspherical domains with vanishing symplectic cohomology. If an exact domain admits a $k$-semi-dilation, then the minimal symplectic area is universally bounded for $K(pi,1)$-Lagrangians. As a corollary, we show that Arnol'd chord conjecture holds for the following four cases: (1) $Y$ admits an exact filling with $S{H}^{\ast }(W)=0$ (for some ring coefficient); (2) $Y$ admits a symplectically aspherical filling with $S{H}^{\ast }(W)=0$ and simply connected Legendrians; (3) $Y$ admits an exact filling with a $k$-semi-dilation and the Legendrian is a $K(pi,1)$ space; (4) $Y$ is the cosphere bundle $S^{\ast }Q$ with $p{i}_2(Q)o{H}_2(Q)$ nontrivial and the Legendrian has trivial $p{i}_2$. In addition, we obtain the existence of homoclinic orbits in case (1). We also provide many more examples with $k$-semi-dilations in all dimensions $ge4$.
