Nonintersection conjecture for phase-lock areas and vertical lines

For rNr\in\mathbb N, let Lr+1L_{r+1} denote the phase-lock area with rotation number r+1r+1, and define the vertical line

Λr={B=ωr}R2.\Lambda_r=\{B=\omega r\}\subset\mathbb R^2.

Nonintersection conjecture. The phase-lock area Lr+1L_{r+1} does not intersect Λr\Lambda_r. This conjecture is discussed as a possible consequence of a monodromy/Riccati statement, while the source gives no resolution evidence.
