Tropicalization surjectivity conjecture for splitting type loci

Let Γ\Gamma be a kk-gonal chain of loops, and let CC be a curve of genus gg and gonality kk over a nonarchimedean field KK with skeleton Γ\Gamma. The tropicalization map is

Trop:Wμ(C)Wμ(Γ).\operatorname{Trop}:\overline{W}^{\bm{\mu}}(C)\longrightarrow\overline{W}^{\bm{\mu}}(\Gamma).

Tropicalization surjectivity conjecture. The map Trop\operatorname{Trop} is surjective. Moreover, if g=μg=\lvert\bm{\mu}\rvert, then it is a bijection.

This conjecture would imply the numerical class conjecture above. It remains open in many cases where the numerical class conjecture is known to hold.
