Higher-genus deformation-space non-local-connectivity conjecture

Let SS be a compact surface with boundary. Write AH(S×[0,1],S×[0,1])AH(S\times[0,1],\partial S\times[0,1]) for the deformation space of marked hyperbolic structures on the pared 33-manifold (S×[0,1],S×[0,1])(S\times[0,1],\partial S\times[0,1]). Higher-genus deformation-space conjecture. The space

AH(S×[0,1],S×[0,1])AH(S\times[0,1],\partial S\times[0,1])

is not locally connected. This proposes that the non-local-connectivity phenomenon exhibited for punctured-torus groups persists for compact surfaces with boundary; the source gives no proof or resolution.
