The conjecture for the number of left braces of order 9p9p

Let b(n)b(n) denote the number of non-isomorphic left braces of size nn, and let p>3p>3 be a prime. The order-9p9p counting conjecture.

b(9p)={14if p1mod9,4if p2,5mod9,11if p4,7mod9.b(9p)=\begin{cases} 14 & \text{if } p\equiv1\bmod9,\\ 4 & \text{if } p\equiv2,5\bmod9,\\ 11 & \text{if } p\equiv4,7\bmod9. \end{cases}

The conjecture is suggested by the table of computed values. The paper states that it was verified by computer calculations, together with the preceding order-4p4p conjecture, for primes up to 997997; its general validity remains open in the supplied text.
