Stable character bounds for word measures on wreath products

From papers

Let GG be a finite group, let FrF_r be the free group of rank rr, and let wFrw\in F_r. For a stable irreducible character χ=(χn)nN\chi=(\chi_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}} of GSG\wr S_{\bullet}, write dim(χ)=(dim(χn))nN\dim(\chi)=(\dim(\chi_n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}} and Ew[χ]=(Ew[χn])nN\operatorname{\mathbb{E}}_w[\chi]=(\operatorname{\mathbb{E}}_w[\chi_n])_{n\in\mathbb{N}}. Stable character bound. For every stable irreducible character χ\chi and wFrw\in F_r,

Ew[χ]=O(dim(χ)1π(w))\operatorname{\mathbb{E}}_w[\chi]=O\left(\dim(\chi)^{1-\pi(w)}\right)

where nn\to\infty and the implied constant depends on χ,w\chi,w. This conjecture predicts that word-measure expectations decay according to the primitivity rank, extending known character estimates for symmetric and wreath products; its resolution is not specified here.
