Conjecture on the second asymmetric invariant set A2\mathcal{A}_2

Let P3P_3 be a polyhedron in T3\mathbb{T}^3, let S0,,S6S_0,\ldots,S_6 be the specified symmetries of the map Gε,3G_{\varepsilon,3}, and define

A2=P3S1(P3)S2(P3)S4(P3)S2S1(P3)S1S2(P3).\mathcal{A}_2=P_3\cup S_1(P_3)\cup S_2(P_3)\cup S_4(P_3)\cup S_2S_1(P_3)\cup S_1S_2(P_3).

Second asymmetric-set conjecture. There exists such a polyhedron P3P_3 for which A2\mathcal{A}_2 is symmetric with respect to S1,S2S_1,S_2 and S4S_4, asymmetric with respect to S0,S3,S5S_0,S_3,S_5 and S6S_6, and invariant whenever

0.4385172=εε.0.438\approx\frac{5-\sqrt{17}}{2}=\varepsilon^{**}\leq\varepsilon.

This gives the paper's explicit proposed value for the second critical coupling at which further asymmetric invariant sets emerge; the claim is based on calculations and remains conjectural.
