The Alternate Thomassé conjecture on sibling numbers of relations

About 4 years old · traced to

Let R=(V,E)R=(V,E) be a relation of arbitrary cardinality, where VV is a non-empty domain and EE is an nn-ary relation on VV for some positive integer nn. The sibling number Sib(R)Sib(R) is the number of isomorphism classes of relations equimorphic to RR, where two relations are equimorphic when each embeds in the other.

The Alternate Thomassé conjecture. For every relation RR of arbitrary cardinality,

Sib(R)=1or∞.Sib(R)=1\quad\text{or}\quad\infty.

This is the unrestricted-cardinality alternative to Thomassé's conjecture and is the version addressed for countable NENE-free posets in the paper. The supplied text gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved in general.
