Tringali–Yan conjecture on automorphisms of reduced power monoids

Recall that a numerical monoid is a submonoid SS of (N,+)(\mathbb{N},+) such that NS\mathbb{N}\setminus S is finite. For such an SS, let P0(S)\mathcal{P}_{0}(S) denote its reduced power monoid.

Tringali–Yan conjecture. If SS is a numerical monoid properly contained in N\mathbb{N}, then the automorphism group of P0(S)\mathcal{P}_{0}(S) is the trivial group:

Aut(P0(S))={id}.\operatorname{Aut}(\mathcal{P}_{0}(S))=\{\operatorname{id}\}.

This conjecture concerns whether reduced power monoids of proper numerical submonoids of N\mathbb{N} have any nontrivial automorphisms. The cited result establishes the analogous classification for P0(N)\mathcal{P}_{0}(\mathbb{N}), but the status of the conjecture for every proper numerical monoid is not resolved here.
