Escaping set rigidity for exponential maps with singular value in the Julia set

Let Eκ(z)=ez+κE_{\kappa}(z)=e^z+\kappa be an exponential map, let J(Eκ)J(E_{\kappa}) denote its Julia set, and let I(Eκ)I(E_{\kappa}) denote its escaping set. An order-preserving conjugacy between two escaping sets is a conjugacy that preserves the natural order of the dynamic rays. Escaping set rigidity conjecture. Suppose that κ1\kappa_1 is a parameter with κ1J(Eκ1)\kappa_1\in J(E_{\kappa_1}), and let κ2κ1+2πik:kZ\kappa_2\notin\\{\kappa_1+2\pi i k:k\in\mathbb{Z}\\}. Then there exists no order-preserving conjugacy

f:I(Eκ1)I(Eκ2)f:I(E_{\kappa_1})\to I(E_{\kappa_2})

between Eκ1E_{\kappa_1} and Eκ2E_{\kappa_2}. Rigidity of the escaping dynamics is expected to obstruct quasiconformal conjugacies between nearby non-hyperbolic stable parameters and would imply density of hyperbolicity. The source provides no resolution of this conjecture.
