Gramination conjecture for the stretch locus

Let G=PO(n,1)G=\mathrm{PO}(n,1), let Γ0\Gamma_0 be the group in the representation space under consideration, and let (j,ρ)Hom(Γ0,G)2(j,\rho)\in\operatorname{Hom}(\Gamma_0,G)^2. For n=2n=2, assume that jj is geometrically finite, and let E(j,ρ)E(j,\rho) be the intersection of the stretch loci of all (j,ρ)(j,\rho)-equivariant maps with minimal Lipschitz constant C(j,ρ)(0,1)C(j,\rho)\in(0,1). Set M:=j(Γ0)\H2M:=j(\Gamma_0)\backslash\mathbb{H}^2. Gramination conjecture. The set E(j,ρ)E(j,\rho) is the lift to H2\mathbb{H}^2 of a gramination of MM, meaning the union of a finite set FF and a lamination in MFM\smallsetminus F with finitely many leaves terminating on FF. This conjecture describes the still-mysterious stretch locus in the case C(j,ρ)<1C(j,\rho)<1; the paper gives more precise results when C(j,ρ)=1C(j,\rho)=1, but does not resolve this claim.
