Strong isomorphism conjecture for immersed regions in two dimensions

Let Ω\Omega and Ω\Omega' be immersed regions in the sphere S2\mathbf{S}^2, and let Σ(Ω)\Sigma(\Omega) denote the associated information convex set. Strong isomorphism conjecture. If Ω\Omega and Ω\Omega' are homeomorphic as immersed regions, then

Σ(Ω)Σ(Ω).\Sigma(\Omega)\cong\Sigma(\Omega').

This is presented as a stronger consequence of the Abelian-sector conjecture for the figure-8 region and would make the information convex set depend only on the homeomorphism type of the immersed region. Its general validity remains open.
