Disconnectedness conjecture for the Hénon connectedness locus

Let fc,b(x,y)=(x2+cby,x)f_{c,b}(x,y)=(x^2+c-by,x) be the complex Hénon family, with (c,b)C2(c,b)\in\mathbb{C}^2, and let M\mathcal{M} be the set of parameters for which the Julia set Jc,bJ_{c,b} is connected.

Disconnectedness conjecture. The connectedness locus is disconnected:

M is disconnected.\mathcal{M}\text{ is disconnected.}

This is a parameter-space question for Hénon maps and is presented as an open problem in the paper.
