Hubbard's surjectivity conjecture for the Hénon-map monodromy homomorphism

Let H0C\mathcal{H}^{\mathbb{C}}_0 be the component of the complex Hénon hyperbolic locus containing HOV\mathrm{HOV}, let (a0,c0)DN(a_0,c_0)\in\mathrm{DN} be a basepoint, and let h0:Ka0,c0CΣ2h_0:K_{a_0,c_0}^{\mathbb{C}}\to\Sigma_2 be a topological conjugacy. For a loop γ\gamma in H0C\mathcal{H}^{\mathbb{C}}_0 based at (a0,c0)(a_0,c_0), let ρ(γ)=h1(h0)1\rho(\gamma)=h_1\circ(h_0)^{-1} be the associated monodromy homomorphism, and write Γ\Gamma for its image. Hubbard's conjecture. The monodromy homomorphism ρ\rho is surjective, that is, Γ=Aut(Σ2)\Gamma=\operatorname{Aut}(\Sigma_2). Surjectivity is known for the analogous polynomial-map monodromy, while the source presents the complex Hénon-map case as Hubbard's conjecture and gives no resolution.
