The asymptotic conjecture for coprime permutations

Let C(n)C(n) denote the number of permutations csigmacsigma of [n][n] such that cgcd(j,csigma(j))=1cgcd(j,csigma(j))=1 for every jcin[n]jcin[n]. After defining constants ckc_k for the corresponding restrictions modulo k!k! and setting c0=climkctocinftyckc_0=clim_{kctocinfty}c_k, the asymptotic conjecture for coprime permutations.

C(n)=n!(c0+o(1))nas n.C(n)=\frac{n!}{(c_0+o(1))^n}\quad\text{as }n\to\infty.

The constants ckc_k arise from optimizing the limiting proportions of permitted transitions between classes determined by common divisors with the product of the primes up to kk. The claim would identify the exponential-order asymptotic for coprime permutations, but no resolution is supplied here.
