Four-domain additive inequality for the hyperbolic metric

Let D1,D2CD_1,D_2\subsetneq\mathbb{C} be simply connected domains, let zD1D2z\in D_1\cap D_2, and assume that D1D2D_1\cup D_2 is hyperbolic. The hyperbolic densities satisfy

λD1D2(z)+λD1D2(z)λD1(z)+λD2(z).\lambda_{D_1\cap D_2}(z)+\lambda_{D_1\cup D_2}(z)\leq\lambda_{D_1}(z)+\lambda_{D_2}(z).

This conjecture strengthens the endpoint question for the simply connected upper estimate and is an additive inequality involving the intersection and union of two domains. Its status is open.
