Asymptotic growth conjecture for graph-complex homotopy ranks

Let Embc(Rm,Rn)\overline{\operatorname{Emb}}_c(\mathbb{R}^m,\mathbb{R}^n) denote the homotopy fibre of the inclusion of embeddings into immersions, and let π(t,t)\pi_*^{(t-\ell,t)} denote its component of complexity tt and Hodge degree tt-\ell. For fixed \ell, the asymptotic growth conjecture asserts that the rank of

π(t,t)(Embc(Rm,Rn))\pi_*^{(t-\ell,t)}(\overline{\operatorname{Emb}}_c(\mathbb{R}^m,\mathbb{R}^n))

has asymptotic tt^\ell as t+t\to +\infty. The conjecture is motivated by computations for the subcomplex with two cycles, where the homology ranks grow linearly with tt; the general asymptotic claim remains open.
