Conjecture on the number of inequivalent abelian squares

Two abelian squares are inequivalent when they have different Parikh vectors. Inequivalent-abelian-square bound conjecture. Every word of length nn contains O(nn)O(n\sqrt{n}) inequivalent abelian squares. Computations support this asymptotic upper bound, while the paper notes that examples with order nnn\sqrt{n} inequivalent abelian squares exist.
