The generic polygon image conjecture for polynomial almost-complex curves

Let TSk\mathsf{TS}_{k} be the moduli space of the polynomial almost-complex curves under consideration, let TPk+6\mathsf{TP}_{k+6} be the moduli space of marked polygons with k+6k+6 vertices modulo the G2\mathsf{G}_2'-action, and let TPk+6gen\mathsf{TP}^{\mathsf{gen}}_{k+6} denote its generic locus, consisting of marked polygons for which d3(pi,pl)=3d_3(p_i,p_l)=3 whenever the induced graph distance between pip_i and plp_l is at least 33. Consider the map α:TSkTPk+6\alpha: \mathsf{TS}_{k}\rightarrow\mathsf{TP}_{k+6}.

Generic polygon image conjecture. The map α:TSkTPk+6\alpha: \mathsf{TS}_{k}\rightarrow\mathsf{TP}_{k+6} has image in TPk+6gen\mathsf{TP}^{\mathsf{gen}}_{k+6} and is a homeomorphism onto its image.

The conjecture is motivated by the matching dimension 2(k1)2(k-1) of TSk\mathsf{TS}_{k} and the generic polygon locus, as well as by analogous homeomorphisms between moduli spaces of holomorphic differentials and polygon moduli spaces obtained from asymptotic boundaries. The supplied text does not state whether this conjecture has been resolved.
