Embeddedness conjecture for the (m,n,m+n1)(m,n,m+n-1) family of harmonic ends

Let mm, nn and kk be positive integers such that

m1k,n1k,m+n2k\frac{m-1}{k},\quad \frac{n-1}{k},\quad \frac{m+n-2}{k}

are relatively prime, and suppose that m1k\frac{m-1}{k} and n1k\frac{n-1}{k} have different parity. For sufficiently small disks around 00, define an end by

ω1=izmdz,ω2=izndz,ω3=1zm+n1dz.\omega_1=\frac{i}{z^m}\,dz,\qquad \omega_2=\frac{i}{z^n}\,dz,\qquad \omega_3=\frac{1}{z^{m+n-1}}\,dz.

Embeddedness conjecture. This end is a complete, properly embedded end of type (m,n,m+n1)(m,n,m+n-1). The surrounding discussion says that numerical evidence supports embeddedness, but that no proof is known except in special cases; the conjecture concerns a family that is difficult to incorporate into complete surfaces.
