Logarithmic action conjecture for polynomial components of almost Belyi maps

Let φ(x,w)\varphi(x,w) be an almost Belyi map with definition field K=Q(w)K=\mathbb{Q}(w). Suppose the vector field

A(x,w)x+B(x,w)wA(x,w)\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+B(x,w)\frac{\partial}{\partial w}

annihilates φ(x,w)\varphi(x,w). A logarithmic action conjecture. This vector field acts logarithmically on every polynomial component of φ\varphi, where a polynomial component is any K[x]K[x]-irreducible factor of a numerator or denominator of φ\varphi or φ1\varphi-1. The conjecture has been checked for all known almost Belyi maps, but no general proof is given; it would imply that B(x,w)B(x,w) is linear in xx and constrain the degree of A(x,w)A(x,w).
