Abstract
Let be the Teichm\"uller space of Riemann surfaces of genus with punctures. It is conjectured that the Teichm\"uller and Carath\'{e}odory metrics agree on a Teichm\"{u}ller disk if and only if all the zeros of the corresponding holomorphic quadratic differential are of even order. The conjecture was proved by Gekhtman and Markovic for . We confirm the conjecture for .
