Tan–Wong–Zhang end-invariant conjecture for two-bridge link representations

Let ρ\rho be a PSL(2,C)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})-representation of \pi_1(\text{\boldmathT}), and let E(ρ)PL\mathcal{E}(\rho)\subset\mathcal{PL} denote its set of end invariants. An accumulation point is a limit point of E(ρ)\mathcal{E}(\rho) in the projective lamination space PL\mathcal{PL}. Tan–Wong–Zhang's end-invariant conjecture. If E(ρ)\mathcal{E}(\rho) has at least two accumulation points, then either

E(ρ)=PL\mathcal{E}(\rho)=\mathcal{PL}

or E(ρ)\mathcal{E}(\rho) is a Cantor set contained in PL\mathcal{PL}. Tan, Wong, and Zhang proved that E(ρ)\mathcal{E}(\rho) is closed and established the asserted dichotomy for discrete representations under a stronger hypothesis; the general statement remains open.
