The least accumulation-point conjecture for permutation-class growth rates

Let ξ2.30524\xi\approx 2.30524 be the unique positive root of x52x4x2x1x^5-2x^4-x^2-x-1, and let the accumulation points from above of a set of real numbers be limits approached by larger elements of that set. Least accumulation-point conjecture. The least accumulation point from above in the set of growth rates of permutation classes is ξ\xi. The preceding proposition shows that the growth rates in [ξ,ζ][\xi,\zeta], where ζ2.32331\zeta\approx 2.32331, contain a perfect set and hence that ξ\xi is an accumulation point from above; the conjecture asserts that no smaller such accumulation point exists.
