Hinkkanen–Martin conjecture on completely invariant Julia sets of rational semigroups

Let GG be a rational semigroup containing maps ff and gg with JfJgJ_f\neq J_g, and let E(G)E(G) denote its completely invariant Julia set. Assume that E(G)E(G) is not the whole Riemann sphere.

Hinkkanen–Martin's conjecture. The set E(G)E(G) is Möbius equivalent to a line segment or a circle.

The earlier conjectures that E(G)E(G) must be a simple closed curve, or that the complement W(G)W(G) has exactly two simply connected components bounded by E(G)E(G), are refuted by examples in the paper. The modified statement is presented as currently unresolved; known examples have completely invariant Julia sets Möbius equivalent to a line segment or a circle.
