Spectral-network singular-locus conjecture for universal buildings

Let XX be a Riemann surface and let ϕ\phi be a spectral cover. Let W\mathcal W be the spectral network associated to ϕ\phi, and let W~\widetilde{\mathcal W} be its lift to X~\widetilde X. Let hϕ:X~Bϕh^{\phi}:\widetilde X\to\mathcal B^{\phi} be the universal ϕ\phi-map, and call the points where Bϕ\mathcal B^{\phi} is not locally an apartment its singular set. Spectral-network singular-locus conjecture. The support of W~\widetilde{\mathcal W} coincides with the inverse image of the singular set of Bϕ\mathcal B^{\phi} under hϕh^{\phi}. The conjecture relates spectral-network collision and branch data to the singularities of the universal building. The source refers to a caveat immediately after the statement and gives no resolution.
