Equivalence conjecture for triples of complex numbers

Let \sim be the equivalence relation on mm-tuples of distinct complex numbers defined by ΛΛ\Lambda\sim\Lambda' if Dn(Λ)=Dn(Λ)\mathcal{D}_n(\Lambda)=\mathcal{D}_n(\Lambda') for every natural number nn. For triples, every tuple is equivalent to (0,1,λ)(0,1,\lambda) with λ0,1\lambda\neq 0,1; two such parameters are already known to give equivalent triples when they are both transcendental or when they are conjugate algebraic numbers.

Equivalence conjecture. If (0,1,λ)(0,1,λ)(0,1,\lambda)\sim(0,1,\lambda'), then either λ\lambda and λ\lambda' are both transcendental, or λ\lambda and λ\lambda' are conjugate algebraic numbers.

This conjecture seeks to characterize the equivalence classes of triples and remains open even for m=3m=3. The stated equivalence relation is invariant under affine transformations and automorphisms of C\mathbb{C} over Q\mathbb{Q}, which explains the known cases.
