Eventual projective-integral equivalence conjecture for irrational parameters

From papers

Let α,βRQ\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q} be irrational. Say that they are eventually PGL2(Z)\operatorname{PGL}_2(\mathbb{Z})-equivalent if there exists mNm\in\mathbb{N} such that, for every nmn\geq m, the numbers nαn\alpha and nβn\beta lie in the same PGL2(Z)\operatorname{PGL}_2(\mathbb{Z}) orbit. Eventual PGL2(Z)\operatorname{PGL}_2(\mathbb{Z})-equivalence conjecture. The numbers α\alpha and β\beta are eventually PGL2(Z)\operatorname{PGL}_2(\mathbb{Z})-equivalent if and only if

α=±β(mod1).\alpha=\pm\beta\pmod{1}.

This is an arithmetic strengthening related to the classification of eventual flow equivalence for Sturmian systems; the source gives no resolution.
