Uniqueness conjecture for the four-region sandwich cluster
Let denote the stationary planar clusters with four regions of area , and let a sandwich-topology cluster be one with the topology described in the source. Sandwich uniqueness conjecture. Up to isometries, there is a unique stationary cluster with the sandwich topology. In such a cluster, the regions and are isometric to and , respectively. The paper proves that equal-area minimizing clusters have sandwich topology, but this stronger uniqueness and symmetry statement is presented as conjectural.
