The dual GCD-closed sets conjecture

Let NN+\mathcal{N}\subset\mathbb{N}^+ be a finite GCD-closed set, meaning that gcd(m,n)N\operatorname{gcd}(m,n)\in\mathcal{N} whenever m,nNm,n\in\mathcal{N}, and suppose that N\mathcal{N} contains at least two elements. A prime power is a number of the form pkp^k for a prime pp and a positive integer kk. The dual GCD-closed sets conjecture. One of the members of N\mathcal{N} has a prime power that is not a prime power of more than half of the members of N\mathcal{N}. This conjecture is the dual equivalent of the LCM-closed sets conjecture, hence of Frankl's union-closed sets conjecture; it remains open.
