Normalizer Conjecture for closed irreducible 3-manifold groups

From papers

Let MM be a closed, connected, P2{\mathbf{P}^2}-irreducible 33-manifold with infinite fundamental group. For a subgroup Hπ1(M)H\leq\pi_1(M), write

Nπ1(M)(H)={gπ1(M):gHg1=H}N_{\pi_1(M)}(H)=\{g\in\pi_1(M):gHg^{-1}=H\}

for its normalizer. Normalizer Conjecture. The group π1(M)\pi_1(M) has a non-trivial, finitely generated subgroup HH such that [Nπ1(M)(H):H]=[N_{\pi_1(M)}(H):H]=\infty. The source gives no resolution; this conjecture forms part of an equivalent set of group-theoretic assertions discussed there.
