Finiteness conjecture for rational triangles fixed up to similarity by a weakly metric affine transformation

Let VV be the set of weakly metric affine transformations, let fIf_I denote the identity transformation, and let X(T)X(T) denote the set associated with a rational triangle TT. Two rational triangles are dissimilar when they are not similar, and write f(T)Tf(T)\sim T when f(T)f(T) and TT are weakly metric equivalent.

Finiteness conjecture. If fVf\in V and ffIf\neq f_I, there are only a finite number of dissimilar rational triangles TX(T)T\in X(T) such that f(T)Tf(T)\sim T.

This conjecture addresses the question of whether a nonidentity weakly metric affine transformation can preserve the weak metric equivalence class of only finitely many rational triangles up to similarity. The source provides no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
