Gendulphe's density conjecture for projective measured foliations

Let \nog\no_g be a non-orientable surface with g4g\geq 4. Let \pmf+(\nog)\pmf^+(\no_g) be the space of projective measured foliations on \nog\no_g containing no one-sided leaves, and let \pmf+(\nog,Q)\pmf^+(\no_g,\mathbb{Q}) be the set of projective weighted rational multicurves containing no one-sided leaves. Gendulphe's density conjecture.

\pmf+(\nog)=\pmf+(\nog,Q).\pmf^+(\no_g)=\overline{\pmf^+(\no_g,\mathbb{Q})}.

The conjecture asserts that foliations without one-sided leaves are exactly approximable by rational two-sided multicurves. It provides the expected description of the natural lower bound for the dynamical limit set of the mapping class group; the source does not report a resolution.
