The commuting infinite subgroups conjecture for intermediate-growth groups

From papers

Let GG be a group of intermediate growth. Two subgroups commute with each other when [h1,h2]=1[h_1,h_2]=1 for every h1H1h_1\in H_1 and h2H2h_2\in H_2.

Commuting infinite subgroups conjecture. The group GG contains two infinite subgroups H1H_1 and H2H_2 which commute with each other:

[h1,h2]=1[h_1,h_2]=1

for all h1H1h_1\in H_1 and h2H2h_2\in H_2.

The source presents this as a final, technical conjecture and notes that, if true, it would positively resolve the pc<1p_c<1 conjecture of Benjamini and Schramm for percolation on Cayley graphs.
