Five-link characterization of the Reinhardt minimizer

Let KK be a hexameral domain with multi-curve σ\sigma around its boundary. Let t0,t1t_0,t_1 be the parameters defining the non-repeating boundary interval. Suppose that the entire non-repeating boundary [t0,t1][t_0,t_1] is a hyperbolic chain with five links. Five-link conjecture. The equality δ(K)=δmin\mathbb\delta(K)=\delta_{\min} holds exactly when KK is the smoothed octagon, up to a transformation by SL2(R)SL_2(\mathbb R). This is presented as a special case of the Reinhardt conjecture. Its resolution is not given in the supplied source.
