Starlike rayless-tree characterization conjecture for compact generated ultrametric spaces

Let (X,d)(X,d) be an infinite ultrametric space. A labeled ray is a ray equipped with a labeling that generates the indicated ultrametric space. A tree is starlike if it has exactly one vertex of degree greater than 22, and rayless if it contains no ray. Starlike rayless-tree characterization conjecture. The following statements are equivalent:

  1. (X,d)(X,d) is the completion of a totally bounded proper subset X0XX_0\subsetneq X generated by a labeled ray.
  2. There exists a starlike rayless tree TT with a labeling l:V(T)R+l:V(T)\to\mathbb R^+ such that (X,d)(X,d) is a compact ultrametric space generated by T(l)T(l).

The claim is presented as a partial generalization of an earlier theorem in the source. No resolution status is supplied.
