Few-differentials conjecture for the Adams spectral sequence

Let πnS\pi_n\mathbb{S} denote the nnth stable stem and let rankp\operatorname{rank}_p denote its rank at the prime pp. Few-differentials conjecture. The stable stems satisfy

log(rankp(πnS))=Θ(log(n)3).\log\left(\operatorname{rank}_p(\pi_n\mathbb{S})\right)=\Theta(\log(n)^3).

This conjecture says that the Adams spectral sequence has few differentials in the sense that its abutment has the same order of logarithmic growth as the relevant Adams E2E_2-page bounds. It is presented as an expectation based on the telescope conjecture and remains open in the supplied text.
