The odd periodic highest-coefficient conjecture for the loop model

Let F2n+1(x)F_{2n+1}(x) be the generating polynomial associated with the odd-sized periodic ground state, let An{\rm A}_n denote the number of n×nn\times n alternating sign matrices, and let AHT2n+1{\rm AHT}_{2n+1} denote the corresponding sum rule. Odd periodic highest-coefficient conjecture. The conjectured asymptotic coefficient is

limxF2n+1(x)xn=An2AHT2n+1.\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{F_{2n+1}(x)}{x^n}=\frac{{\rm A}_n^2}{{\rm AHT}_{2n+1}}.

The source attributes this conjecture to an earlier paper and presents it among observations for the odd periodic model, for which an equivalent general formula was not known there.
