Asymptotic sparsity of composites in finite-group semirings

Let GG be a finite group, let N[G]n\mathbb{N}[G]_n denote the nn-th grade of the group semiring, and let Comp(N[G])n\operatorname{Comp}(\mathbb{N}[G])_n denote its composite elements in that grade. Let P(n)P^-(n) be the smallest prime factor of nn, and suppose that the number of prime factors of nn is bounded by a fixed positive integer kk. Asymptotic sparsity conjecture. One has

limP(n)Comp(N[G])nN[G]n=0.\lim_{P^-(n)\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\left|\operatorname{Comp}\left(\mathbb{N}[G]\right)_n\right|}{\left|\mathbb{N}[G]_n\right|}=0.

The theorem preceding this conjecture supplies an upper bound for composites and suggests that, under the bounded-prime-factor condition, composites are much less numerous than primes in the nn-th grade. The conjecture itself is not resolved in the supplied text.
