Eremenko's conjecture on unbounded components of the escaping set

Let ff be a transcendental entire function, and let

I(f)={zC:fn(z) as n}I(f)=\{z\in\mathbb{C}: f^n(z)\to\infty\text{ as }n\to\infty\}

be its escaping set. Eremenko's conjecture. Every connected component of I(f)I(f) is unbounded. The conjecture has been confirmed in a number of cases, but the general statement remains open; the source specifically notes results establishing it in several cases.
