The positive ratio-limit conjecture for singleton double descent counts

Let dd(I;n)dd(I;n) denote the number of permutations in the symmetric group on nn letters whose double descent set is II. For fixed i,jZ2i,j\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq2}, the positive ratio-limit conjecture asserts that

limndd({i};n)dd({j};n)\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{dd(\{i\};n)}{dd(\{j\};n)}

exists and is positive. This predicts a sharp contrast with ordinary descent counts, whose corresponding ratios are generally zero or infinite; the conjecture remains open.
