Phase-transition conjecture for SLE with a boundary force point

From papers

For each κ(0,4)\underline{\kappa}\in(0,4), let ρc=ρc(κ)\rho_c=\rho_c(\underline{\kappa}) lie in (2κ/2,2)[κ/24,2)(-2-\underline{\kappa}/2,-2)\cap[\underline{\kappa}/2-4,-2), and let η\eta be an SLEκ(ρ)_{\underline{\kappa}}(\rho) curve from 00 to \infty in H\mathbb{H} with its force point always to the right of the tip. SLE boundary-force-point phase-transition conjecture. There exists such a ρc\rho_c for which, for ρ(ρc,2)\rho\in(\rho_c,-2), the range of η\eta is almost surely conformally removable and the adjacency graph of Hη\mathbb{H}\setminus\eta is connected; while for ρ(2κ/2,ρc)[κ/24,ρc)\rho\in(-2-\underline{\kappa}/2,\rho_c)\cap[\underline{\kappa}/2-4,\rho_c), the range is conformally non-removable, the graph is disconnected, and the range contains a topological Sierpiński carpet. This conjectures a parameter phase transition simultaneously governing conformal removability, bubble connectivity, and carpet containment; the source notes that these properties are not established throughout the indicated regimes.
