Uniform distortion conjecture for simplicial power maps

Let T=(,0,)T=\triangle(,0,) be a triangle and denote its angle at 00 by θ=(ξ,0,η)\theta=\measuredangle(\xi,0,\eta). Let TqT^q be the qqth level of the regular 1-4 subdivision of TT. For γ>0\gamma>0, define the power map h(z)=zγh(z)=z^\gamma, and assume that γθ<π\gamma\theta<\pi. Uniform distortion conjecture. The simplicial maps hqh^q, obtained by sampling hh at the vertices of TqT^q and extending by linearity, are homeomorphisms satisfying

D(hq)K\mathrm{\textbf{D}}(h^q)\leq K

for some K1K\geq 1 independent of qq. This conjecture concerns uniform quasiconformal control of simplicial approximations to power maps; the stated claim is not accompanied by a resolution in the supplied text.
