The lower-bound conjecture for Camacho–Sad indices of homogeneous convex foliations

Let H\mathcal{H} be a homogeneous convex foliation of degree d2d\geq2 on PC2\mathbb{P}^{2}_{\mathbb{C}}, and let ss\in\ell_\infty be a non-radial singularity of H\mathcal{H}. For a rational map f ⁣:PC1PC1f\colon\mathbb{P}^{1}_{\mathbb{C}}\to\mathbb{P}^{1}_{\mathbb{C}}, let M(f)\mathcal{M}(f) be the set of its nonzero, nonunit fixed-point multipliers. The lower-bound conjecture. One has

1d1Re(CS(H,,s)).\frac{1}{d-1}\leq-\operatorname{Re}\bigl(\operatorname{CS}(\mathcal H,\ell_\infty,s)\bigr).

Equivalently, if ff is a critically fixed rational map of degree d2d\geq2, then M(f)\mathcal{M}(f) is contained in the closed disk

D(d+12,d12)C,\overline{\mathbb{D}}\left(\frac{d+1}{2},\frac{d-1}{2}\right)\subset\mathbb{C},

of center d+12\frac{d+1}{2} and radius d12\frac{d-1}{2}. This would improve the currently stated lower bound for the real part of the Camacho–Sad index, and the source notes that the proposed value is attained in known examples.
