Conjectural support and laminarity description for the bifurcation current

Let Λ\Lambda be the parameter space of normalized degree-dd polynomials PλP_\lambda, with critical points λ=(c1,,cd1)\lambda=(c_1,\ldots,c_{d-1}) whose product is fixed by the rotation number. Define

T=ddc(λlograd(Pλ)),f(λ)=min(c1,,cd1).T=dd^c\bigl(\lambda\mapsto\log\operatorname{rad}(P_\lambda)\bigr),\qquad f(\lambda)=\min(|c_1|,\ldots,|c_{d-1}|).

Write IkI_k for the relevant critical-boundary loci and Supp\operatorname{Supp} for support.

Conjectural support and laminarity description. Point (Q:support) holds: the support of TT is homeomorphic to the support of ddcfdd^c f. Moreover, the difference SuppTSupp(TT)=I2I3\operatorname{Supp}T-\operatorname{Supp}(T\wedge T)=I_2-I_3 is a finite union, over pairs i<ji<j of critical points, of (d2)(d-2)-dimensional topological submanifolds foliated by a one-real-parameter family of (d3)(d-3)-dimensional complex submanifolds, parametrized by the relative angle between the two critical points on the Siegel-disk boundary. The current TT is the sum over i,ji,j of the integrals, with respect to Lebesgue measure in that relative angle, of the integration currents on these manifolds. Analogous descriptions hold for SuppTkSuppT(k+1)\operatorname{Supp}T^{\wedge k}-\operatorname{Supp}T^{\wedge(k+1)} and for TkT^{\wedge k}.

This is explicitly called a daring conjecture and is motivated by surgery from Blaschke fractions and comments of Zakeri. The preceding support question is known in the case d=3d=3, but the full proposed description is not stated as resolved.
