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

About 12 years old · traced to

Let mm, nn and kk be positive integers such that

m−1k,n−1k,m+n−2k\frac{m-1}{k},\quad \frac{n-1}{k},\quad \frac{m+n-2}{k}

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

ω1=izm dz,ω2=izn dz,ω3=1zm+n−1 dz.\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+n−1)(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.
