Second-integral conjecture for the triangle map

Let S3{\mathcal S}_3 be the space of unit-area triangles, let ft:S3S3f_t:{\mathcal S}_3\to{\mathcal S}_3 be the triangle map, and let A{\mathcal A} be its area integral. Second-integral conjecture. The map ftf_t has a second integral, depending on tt, that Poisson-commutes with the area integral A{\mathcal A}. This is presented as a particular case of the Liouville-integrability conjecture for odd-gon maps and is intended to explain the observed phase portraits; it remains open.
