Antunes–Freitas conjecture on three eigenvalues determining a triangle

Let T1T_1 and T2T_2 be triangles, and write λi(Tj)\lambda_i(T_j) for their iith eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian. Antunes–Freitas conjecture. If

λi(T1)=λi(T2),i=1,2,3,\lambda_i(T_1)=\lambda_i(T_2),\qquad i=1,2,3,

then T1T_1 and T2T_2 are identical up to a rigid motion. Antunes and Freitas supplied extensive numerical evidence for this claim, but the source reports that the first, second, and fourth eigenvalues do not uniquely determine a triangle. The conjecture itself remains open.
