Quasicontrol mappings and minimal Martin boundary of \(p\)-sheeted unlimited covering surfaces of the complex plane (Q2574391)

Let \(N(R)\) denote the cardinal number of the minimal Martin boundary of an open Riemann surface \(R\). It was proved by \textit{T. Lyons} [J. Differential Geometry 26, 33--66 (1987; Zbl 0599.60011)] that there exists quasiconformally equivalent open Riemann surfaces \(F_1, F_2\) with \(N(F_1)\neq N(F_2)\). The authors of the present paper conjecture that for \(p\)-sheeted unlimited covering surfaces \(R_1, R_2\) of the complex plane which are quasiconformally equivalent to each other, we have \(N(R_1)= N(R_2)\). They prove this conjecture for \(p=2\) and \(p=3\).
