Uniqueness conjecture for boundary Schwarzian data in the universal Teichmüller space

Let Sq\overline{\mathbf{S}}_q be the closure of the universal Teichmüller space in the Schwarzian model. For ϕSq\phi\in\overline{\mathbf{S}}_q, obtain fϕf_\phi as the locally convergent limit of normalized univalent functions whose Schwarzians converge to ϕ\phi.

Uniqueness conjecture. Let ϕSq\phi\in\overline{\mathbf{S}}_q. Then the function fϕf_\phi obtained in this way is unique, so that the IMS functional

IT2:ϕβfϕ(t),ϕSq,I_{\overline{T}_2}:\phi\mapsto\beta_{f_\phi}(t),\qquad \phi\in\overline{\mathbf{S}}_q,

is well-defined.

The source explains that uniqueness is known in the interior but has not been proved on the boundary; consequently, well-definedness of the extended IMS functional remains open.
