The square characterization conjecture for Hyperbrots of even degree

From papers

Let D{\mathcal{D}} denote the hyperbolic number plane, and let Hp{\mathcal{H}}^p be the Hyperbrot set associated with the polynomial of degree pp. Define

tp:=(1(2p)1/(p1))p12p(p1/(p1)),lp:=((2p)1/(p1)+1)p1p(p1/(p1)).t_p:=\frac{(1-(2p)^{1/(p-1)})p-1}{2p(p^{1/(p-1)})},\qquad l_p:=\frac{((2p)^{1/(p-1)}+1)p-1}{p(p^{1/(p-1)})}.

The square characterization conjecture. For every even integer p2p\geq 2,

Hp={x+yjD:xtp+ylp2}.{\mathcal{H}}^p=\left\{x+y\mathbf{j}\in\mathbb{D}:|x-t_p|+|y|\leq\frac{l_p}{2}\right\}.

The claim predicts that the even-degree Hyperbrot sets are squares, extending the regular-shape phenomenon established in the paper for the relevant odd-degree systems. The supplied text gives no evidence that this characterization has been proved or disproved.
