Edge Monotonicity Conjecture for tessellations of cubic parameter spaces
Edge Monotonicity Conjecture for tessellations of cubic parameter spaces
Let be a parabolic endpoint of edges in , and let be its Type D hyperbolic component. Edge Monotonicity Conjecture. There can be at most four edges with a given parabolic endpoint . If there are two or more such edges, then the two edges closest to are primary edges, so that the orbit portrait increases monotonically as one crosses into the face containing . Any further edges are secondary. Furthermore, a primary edge and a secondary edge with the same parabolic endpoint always lie in different escape regions. This conjecture formalizes the observed relation between edge type, orbit-portrait monotonicity, and escape regions; no resolution is given in the source.
