Bounded genus conjecture for polyhedra of fixed dimension

Let XX be a finite cell complex, or polyhedron, in the stable homotopy category. Two polyhedra are in the same genus when their localizations at every prime are stably equivalent. Let g(X)g(X) denote the number of stable isomorphism classes in the genus of XX.

Bounded genus conjecture. For every positive integer nn there is an integer cnc_n such that

g(X)cng(X)\le c_n

for every polyhedron XX of dimension nn.

This is proposed as an analogue of Roiter's boundedness theorem for genera of modules over an order in a semisimple algebra. The paper does not establish the conjecture, so boundedness uniformly over all polyhedra of a fixed dimension remains open.
