Uniqueness conjecture for the Angelesco equilibrium measure

In the Angelesco case, let λ=(λ1,λ2)\vec\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2) be the equilibrium measure of the extremal vector compact, and set μ=λ1+λ2\mu=\lambda_1+\lambda_2. Let λ(μ,Fi)\lambda(\mu,\mathcal F_i) be the equilibrium measures associated with the admissible-cut classes Fi\mathcal F_i, so that

μλ1=λ(μ,F1),μλ2=λ(μ,F2).\mu\geq\lambda_1=\lambda(\mu,\mathcal F_1),\qquad \mu\geq\lambda_2=\lambda(\mu,\mathcal F_2).

Angelesco uniqueness conjecture. The measure μ=λ1+λ2\mu=\lambda_1+\lambda_2 is the only positive Borel measure in the plane satisfying these inequalities and μ(C)=2\mu(\mathbb C)=2. This uniqueness would provide the potential-theoretic inverse step needed for the general Angelesco zero-distribution result; the source does not state that it has been proved.
