Conjecture on the asymptotic bound for analytic combinatorial curves

Let AkA_k be the sequence appearing in the enumeration of analytic linear diagrams, let a0a'_0 be a constant independent of kk, and let α\alpha be the exponential-growth parameter from the preceding theorem. For k>0k>0, assume the bound

Aka0k32αk.A_k\leq a'_0 k^{-\frac{3}{2}}\alpha^{-k}.

Asympture conjecture. The first terms of the sequence suggest that a0=αa'_0=\alpha is sufficient; under this choice, the exponential-growth constant ρ\rho in the bound for the number of rooted analytic combinatorial curves on the sphere could satisfy ρ<83\rho<83. More precisely, one may take

ρ=4α1exp(2a0π).\rho=4\alpha^{-1}\exp\left(\sqrt{\frac{2a_0}{\sqrt{\pi}}}\right).

This conjectural estimate would improve the previously established bound ρ96e1/3<134\rho\leq96e^{1/3}<134. Further information about the distributions of ss and kk as the number of edges tends to infinity could yield an even smaller value of ρ\rho.
