Local-to-global conjugacy conjecture for Markov groups

Let Tn\mathcal{T}_n be the rooted ternary tree of height nn, and let MM be the group arising from Sections 3 and 4. For subgroups H,GAut(Tn)H,G\leq\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{T}_n), say that HH is locally conjugated into GG if, for every hHh\in H, there exists kk in the kernel of the restriction map

Aut(Tn)Aut(Tn1)\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{T}_n)\to\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{T}_{n-1})

such that hkGh^k\in G. Say that HH is globally conjugated into GG if there exists one such kk with HkGH^k\subseteq G.

Local-to-global conjugacy conjecture. If HAut(Tn)H\leq\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{T}_n) is locally conjugated into MM, then HH is globally conjugated into MM.

This is a group-theoretic conjecture intended to reduce questions about the Markov model to conjugacy inside automorphism groups of rooted trees. The source recalls it in the setting of the paper and does not state that it has been resolved.
