Regular-cycle proportion conjecture for primitive permutation groups

Let (G,Ω)(G,\Omega) be a primitive permutation group not covered by the structural conjecture above. For gGg\in G, let ogo_g denote the number of regular cycles of gg, and let cgc_g denote the total number of cycles of gg, including cycles of length 11.

Regular-cycle proportion conjecture. There exists an absolute positive constant cc such that, for every such (G,Ω)(G,\Omega) and every gGg\in G,

ogcg>c.\frac{o_g}{c_g}>c.

This conjecture predicts a uniform positive proportion of regular cycles outside the exceptional structural family. It is presented in the paper as a further conjecture, and no resolution is supplied in the given text.
