The asymptotic upper-bound conjecture for medial quandles

About 12 years old · traced to

A medial quandle is a quandle satisfying (x∗y)∗(u∗v)=(x∗u)∗(y∗v)(x*y)*(u*v)=(x*u)*(y*v) for all elements x,y,u,vx,y,u,v. Let nn be a positive integer and consider medial quandles of order nn.

Asymptotic upper-bound conjecture. The number of isomorphism classes of medial quandles of order nn is at most

2(14+o(1))n2.2^{(\frac14+o(1))n^2}.

The paper has established the weaker upper bound 2(12+o(1))n22^{(\frac12+o(1))n^2}, improving Blackburn's general-quandle bound, while computational results suggest that the exponent 14\frac14 is attainable as an upper bound. No resolution is given here.
