Persistent containment conjecture for finitely generated residually finite groups

Let HH be a finitely generated residually finite group. A group GG persistently contains HH if every finite-index subgroup GGG'\subset G contains a subgroup isomorphic to HH. Persistent containment conjecture. There exists a finitely generated residually finite group GG that persistently contains HH. This would extend the paper's theorem, which establishes the analogous assertion for HH equal to Promislow's group, and the general case remains open in the source.
