Equal orbit-growth constants imply equal generating-function denominators
Equal orbit-growth constants imply equal generating-function denominators
Let and be primitive necklaces, and let and be their orbit-growth constants when these constants exist. Let denote the limiting level size generating function associated with .
Equal-constant denominator conjecture. For any two primitive necklaces and , if , then and have the same denominator.
The conjecture is motivated by computed examples in which equal orbit-growth constants accompany equal denominators, while the paper does not provide a general proof or disproof. It therefore remains open.
