Projective categoricity conjecture for open properly convex sets

From papers

Let U,VRnU,V\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n be open, properly convex subsets. Write ULBVU\equiv_{\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{B}}}V when they are elementarily equivalent in the projective betweenness language, and call them projectively equivalent when a projective transformation maps one onto the other.

Open-domain projective categoricity conjecture. Two such sets UU and VV are LB\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{B}}-elementarily equivalent if and only if they are projectively equivalent.

This extends the compact-body projective categoricity conjecture to properly convex open domains. Its resolution would connect elementary equivalence in the betweenness language with the projective classification of Hilbert geometries; the extension remains open.
