Constriction abscissa conjecture for phase-lock areas

Let LρL_\rho be the phase-lock area with rotation number ρ\rho, and call the separation points between consecutive bounded domains in its chain constrictions when they do not lie on the horizontal BB-axis. Constriction abscissa conjecture. In every phase-lock area LρL_\rho, all constrictions lie on the line

{B=ρω}.\{B=\rho\omega\}.

This is described as a main open conjecture on the geometry of the phase-lock area portrait and is supported experimentally; a survey and related open problems are cited in the source.
