Constant-count conjecture for high-rank string C-group representations of symmetric groups

About 7 years old · traced to

Let SnS_n be the symmetric group, and let a string C-group representation mean a string C-group representation of a specified rank. For an integer ii satisfying

1≤i≤(n−3)/2,1\leq i\leq (n-3)/2,

consider representations of rank n−in-i of SnS_n.

Constant-count conjecture. The number of string C-group representations of rank n−in-i for SnS_n with 1≤i≤(n−3)/21\leq i\leq (n-3)/2 is a constant independent of nn.

This conjecture concerns the enumeration of representations in the high-rank range and is motivated by computational data for symmetric groups. The surrounding enumeration problem is solved for the four highest values of the rank and sufficiently large nn, but the stated uniform constancy remains open.
