Kitaoka's spectral commensurability conjecture for flat tori

Let L1L_1 and L2L_2 be lattices in Euclidean nn-space Rn\mathbb{R}^n. The corresponding flat tori are Rn/L1\mathbb{R}^n/L_1 and Rn/L2\mathbb{R}^n/L_2; they are spectrally commensurable when, up to rescaling of the metrics, their spectra are mutually contained in each other. Two lattices are commensurable if their intersection has finite index in each.

Kitaoka's conjecture. If the flat tori Rn/L1\mathbb{R}^n/L_1 and Rn/L2\mathbb{R}^n/L_2 are spectrally commensurable, then, up to an isometry of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, the lattices L1L_1 and L2L_2 are commensurable.

This conjecture refines a question relating the spectrum of flat tori to their arithmetic, viewed through isogeny and commensurability. No resolution is supplied in the source.
