Tan–Wong–Zhang's Cantor-set conjecture for end invariants

About 15 years old · traced to

Let ρ\rho be an SL(2,C)SL(2,\mathbb{C})-representation of \pi_1(\text{\boldmathT}), and let E(ρ)\mathcal{E}(\rho) be its set of end invariants in the projective lamination space PL\mathcal{PL} of \text{\boldmathT}. An element of PL\mathcal{PL} is an end invariant if it is the limit of distinct essential simple loops whose traces under ρ\rho have uniformly bounded absolute value. Tan–Wong–Zhang's conjecture. If E(ρ)\mathcal{E}(\rho) has at least two accumulation points, then E(ρ)\mathcal{E}(\rho) is either a Cantor set in PL\mathcal{PL} or all of PL\mathcal{PL}. This conjecture concerns the possible homeomorphism types of end-invariant sets; the cited context reports related structural results but does not state a resolution.
