Conjecture on nilpotent conjugacy growth and lower-central ranks

Let GG be a finitely generated nilpotent group, and for each ii let rir_i be the torsion-free rank of the quotient G(i+1)/G(i)G^{(i+1)}/G^{(i)}. Nilpotent conjugacy-growth rank conjecture. The conjugacy growth of GG depends only on the numbers rir_i. The conjecture would imply that conjugacy growth is a quasi-isometry invariant among finitely generated nilpotent groups, extending the results discussed in the source for virtually abelian groups and for class 2 nilpotent groups with infinite cyclic derived subgroup; it remains open in the source.
