The Borel conjecture for shape-equivalent matchbox manifolds

Let AB{\mathcal A}_B be a Borel collection of compact manifolds of dimension n1n \geq 1. An AB{\mathcal A}_B-like matchbox manifold is a matchbox manifold modeled on the collection AB{\mathcal A}_B. Let M1{\mathfrak{M}}_1 and M2{\mathfrak{M}}_2 be equicontinuous AB{\mathcal A}_B-like matchbox manifolds that are shape equivalent.

Borel conjecture for matchbox manifolds. If M1{\mathfrak{M}}_1 and M2{\mathfrak{M}}_2 are equicontinuous, AB{\mathcal A}_B-like matchbox manifolds that are shape equivalent, then M1{\mathfrak{M}}_1 and M2{\mathfrak{M}}_2 are homeomorphic.

This conjecture generalizes classification of compact abelian groups by shape to equicontinuous matchbox manifolds. The source notes that the corresponding statement is known for equicontinuous Tn{\mathbb T}^n-like matchbox manifolds, but does not resolve the broader AB{\mathcal A}_B setting.
