The strong orbit-equivalence rigidity conjecture

Let GG and HH be closed permutation groups on a countably infinite set XX. They are strongly orbit-equivalent when they have the same orbits on the power set

P(X).\mathcal P(X).

Strong orbit-equivalence rigidity conjecture. If GG and HH are strongly orbit-equivalent, then

H=G.H=G.

This strengthens ordinary orbit-equivalence by requiring agreement on all subsets, not only finite subsets. The closedness hypothesis is necessary: the source cites a proper nonclosed subgroup of the infinite symmetric group that is strongly orbit-equivalent to it. The conjecture itself remains open in the source.
