Connectedness-locus embedding conjecture for exponential and error functions

Let Ec(z)=expz+cE_c(z)=\exp z+c be the exponential family, and let

Ea(z)=a0zew2dw\mathscr{E}_a(z)=a\int_{0}^{z}e^{-w^2}\,dw

for aCa\in\mathbb{C}^*. Define the bounded-orbit parameter sets

Mexp={cC{Ecn(c)}n0 is bounded}\mathcal{M}_{\exp}=\big\{c\in\mathbb{C}\mid \{E_c^{\circ n}(c)\}_{n\geq 0}\text{ is bounded}\big\}

and

Merr={aC{Ean(a)}n0 is bounded}.\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{err}}=\big\{a\in\mathbb{C}^*\mid \{\mathscr{E}_a^{\circ n}(a)\}_{n\geq 0}\text{ is bounded}\big\}.

Connectedness-locus embedding conjecture. There exists a continuous map from Mexp\mathcal{M}_{\exp} to Merr\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{err}} that is a homeomorphism onto its image.

This conjecture proposes an analogue, for the exponential and error-function families, of the structural relationship established in the paper between unicritical polynomial approximations and their limiting entire functions. The source does not provide a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
