He–Schramm rigidity conjecture for circle domains

From papers

A circle domain ΩC^\Omega\subset\widehat{\mathbb C} is a domain whose boundary components are points or circles. It is conformally rigid if every conformal map of C^\widehat{\mathbb C} that is conformal outside Ω\partial\Omega maps Ω\Omega onto itself, and a set is conformally removable if every homeomorphism of the sphere conformal off that set is Möbius. He–Schramm's rigidity conjecture. A circle domain Ω\Omega is conformally rigid if and only if its boundary Ω\partial\Omega is conformally removable. The conjecture was subsequently disproved by Rajala: the forward implication fails, while the reverse direction remains open.
