Uniqueness conjecture for pitch-one tetragonal and rhombohedral TPMSg3s

From papers

Let T\mathcal{T} be the family of TPMSg3s with order-4 screw symmetries and let R\mathcal{R} be the family of TPMSg3s with order-3 screw symmetries. For a torus parameter τ\tau, write Reτ\operatorname{Re}\tau for its real part, and say that τ\tau solves the period condition for a family with pitch 11 when the corresponding period equation is satisfied.

Uniqueness conjecture. For every r(1,1)r\in(-1,1), there is a unique τ\tau with Reτ=r\operatorname{Re}\tau=r that solves the period condition for T\mathcal{T} with pitch 11. For every r(1,1/2)r\in(-1,1/2), there is a unique τ\tau with Reτ=r\operatorname{Re}\tau=r that solves the period condition for R\mathcal{R} with pitch 11.

The conjecture would classify the pitch-one members of these symmetry families. Weyhaupt proved the claim for selected parameters corresponding to the gyroid and Lidinoid, but the stated uniqueness for all parameters remains open.
