The sector cross-ratio supremum conjecture

Let SθS_\theta be an open sector with angle π<θ<2π\pi<\theta<2\pi. For r>0r>0 and 0<k<10<k<1, set

x=re(1k)θi/2,y=re(1+k)θi/2.x=re^{(1-k)\theta i/2},\qquad y=re^{(1+k)\theta i/2}.

The sector cross-ratio supremum conjecture. One has

supa,bSθa,x,b,y=max{r,x,reθi,y,0,x,,y}.\sup_{a,b\in\partial S_\theta}|a,x,b,y|=\max\{|r,x,re^{\theta i},y|,|0,x,\infty,y|\}.

This is supported by computational experiments and concerns the extremal cross-ratio on a non-convex sector; no proof or resolution is given here.
