The real-slice conjecture for generalized Mandelbrot sets of even degree

Let Mp{\mathcal{M}^p} be the generalized Mandelbrot set for the polynomial Qp,c(z)=zp+cQ_{p,c}(z)=z^p+c, where z,cCz,c\in\mathbb{C} and p2p\geq 2 is an integer. The real-slice conjecture. If pp is even, then

MpR=[21p1,(p1)ppp1].{\mathcal{M}^p}\cap\mathbb{R}=\left[-2^{\frac{1}{p-1}},(p-1)p^{\frac{-p}{p-1}}\right].

The conjecture is proposed as the missing even-degree analogue of the paper's result for Multibrot sets of odd degree; proving it would complete the characterization of the real intersections needed for the even-power case.
