Super-exponential growth of minimal-origami orbits
Let denote the number of distinct -orbits of origamis in with squares, such that each of their horizontal and vertical cylinder decompositions consists of one cylinder. Super-exponential orbit-growth conjecture. The quantity grows super-exponentially in . These origamis, called minimal origamis, have the simplest possible horizontal and vertical cylinder decompositions and the smallest possible number of squares. The conjecture predicts that the number of distinct -orbits among them becomes extremely large as the genus grows, although the paper notes that even monotonicity in is unknown.
