Uniqueness conjecture for Markov fractions

Let qq be a Markov number, and call a rational number a Markov fraction when it is one of the Markov fractions defined in the paper; its denominator is the denominator in lowest terms. The interval under consideration is [0,12][0,\frac{1}{2}]. Uniqueness conjecture for Markov fractions. For each Markov number qq, the interval [0,12][0,\frac{1}{2}] contains at most one Markov fraction with denominator qq. This is equivalent to the uniqueness conjecture for Markov numbers, which asserts that every Markov number is the maximum of exactly one ordered Markov triple; the proposition is stated as yet to be proved or refuted.
