Universality conjecture for regularity between pairs of critical circles

Let γ1\gamma_1 and γ2\gamma_2 be critical invariant circles, and let Gγ1,γ2G_{\gamma_1,\gamma_2} and Hγ1,γ2H_{\gamma_1,\gamma_2} denote the associated maps between them. Let κ()\kappa(\cdot) denote regularity, and call a numerical characteristic universal when it takes the same value on an open set of functions. Pairwise critical-circle regularity universality conjecture. For pairs of critical circles γ1\gamma_1 and γ2\gamma_2, the regularities κ(Gγ1,γ2)\kappa(G_{\gamma_1,\gamma_2}) and κ(Hγ1,γ2)\kappa(H_{\gamma_1,\gamma_2}) are universal numbers. The claim predicts that these inter-circle regularities are independent of the details of the map within a universality domain; the source does not provide a proof.
