Separating-parameter conjecture for the gamma-3 family

Let γ3\gamma_3 be the homoclinic family, let D\mathfrak{D} be the critical curve, and let m1,m2,m3m_1,m_2,m_3 be the mass parameters. Gamma-3 separation conjecture. The γ3\gamma_3 family continues to D\mathfrak{D} when m2m3m_2\approx m_3 and does not reach D\mathfrak{D} when m1m2m_1\approx m_2; there is a single parameter value on D\mathfrak{D} separating these behaviors. The conjecture summarizes the symmetry-based and numerical evidence for the two different continuation regimes.
