Makienko's conjecture on buried points in rational Julia sets

About 18 years old · traced to

Let R:C∞→C∞R:{\mathbb C_\infty}\rightarrow {\mathbb C_\infty} be a rational function. A point of the Julia set J(R)J(R) is buried if it does not belong to the boundary of a Fatou component. A Fatou component of R2R^2 is completely invariant if its image and full preimage under R2R^2 are itself.

Makienko's conjecture. The Julia set J(R)J(R) has buried points if and only if there is no completely invariant component of the Fatou set of R2R^2.

Known examples with non-empty residual Julia sets have no Fatou component with a finite grand orbit, and the conjecture proposes an exact dynamical criterion for the existence of buried points. Its resolution is not specified in the source.
