Labourie's conjecture on unique equivariant minimal surfaces

Let GG be a split real Lie group or a Hermitian Lie group, let KK be a maximal compact subgroup of GG, and let ρ\rho be a Hitchin representation in the split-real case or a maximal representation in the Hermitian case.

Labourie's conjecture. Does there exist a unique ρ\rho-equivariant minimal surface in G/KG/K?

This generalizes the question of whether Labourie's parametrization by conformal harmonic maps is bijective. Its resolution is not specified in the source.
