The uniqueness conjecture for positive simple intersections

Let ω>0\omega>0. For rZ{0}r\in\mathbb Z\setminus\{0\}, let LrL_r be the phase-lock area and let

Λr={B=rω}\Lambda_r=\{B=r\omega\}

be its axis. A simple intersection is a point of LrΛr\partial L_r\cap\Lambda_r that is not a constriction.

The uniqueness conjecture. For every rZ{0}r\in\mathbb Z\setminus\{0\}, the simple intersection with positive ordinate is unique.

The source notes that the possible ordinates form a finite set of roots of a known polynomial, while the asserted uniqueness remains a conjecture.
