Sturmian maximizing measures as extremal barycentres

From papers

For integers 1p<q1\le p<q, let F0,p,qF_{0,p,q} be the multi-valued dynamical system on S1S^1 appearing in the paper, and let a Sturmian measure mean a probability measure whose support is contained in some 1/q1/q-circle. Sturmian maximizing-measures conjecture. The set of barycentres of probability measures on S1S^1 invariant under F0,p,qF_{0,p,q} has the property that a measure has barycentre on the boundary if and only if it is Sturmian. This predicts that the extremal barycentres are exactly those arising from measures supported in a 1/q1/q-circle; the supplied excerpt gives no resolution status.
