Conjecture on joint spectral measures for rank-two graph pairs

From papers

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite subgroup of GL(2,Z)GL(2,\mathbb{Z}), let (Gρ1Γ,Gρ2Γ)(\mathcal{G}^{\Gamma}_{\rho_1},\mathcal{G}^{\Gamma}_{\rho_2}) be the associated pair of graphs, let T2\mathbb{T}^2 be the parameter torus, and let D\mathfrak{D} be the corresponding domain of Γ\Gamma-invariant variables (x,y)(x,y). Write Sϱ(θ)S_{\varrho}(\theta) for the orbit function and JΓ(x,y)J_{\Gamma}(x,y) for the Jacobian associated with the change to these invariant variables. Joint spectral-measure conjecture. The joint spectral measure ε\varepsilon over T2\mathbb{T}^2 for the pair of graphs is

dε(ω1,ω2)=1ΓSϱ(θ)2dω1dω2.\mathrm{d}\varepsilon(\omega_1,\omega_2) = \frac{1}{|\Gamma|} \, |S_{\varrho}(\theta)|^2 \, \mathrm{d}\omega_1 \, \mathrm{d}\omega_2.

The joint spectral measure ν~\widetilde{\nu} over D\mathfrak{D} for the same pair is

dν~(x,y)=Sϱ(θ)2JΓ(x,y)dxdy.\mathrm{d}\widetilde{\nu}(x,y) = \frac{|S_{\varrho}(\theta)|^2}{|J_{\Gamma}(x,y)|} \, \mathrm{d}x \, \mathrm{d}y.

These formulas propose a uniform description of the joint spectral measures associated with the rank-two Lie-group and finite-subgroup graph constructions. The supplied text gives no evidence that the conjecture has been proved or refuted.
