The SOP connective-constant conjecture

Let w2nw_{2n} be the number of self-overlapping polygons of length 2n2n in the SOP model, counted with multiplicity factor μγ\mu_\gamma. SOP connective-constant conjecture. The limit

limn(w2n)1/(2n)=1/g\lim_{n\to\infty}(w_{2n})^{1/(2n)}=1/g_*

exists and is finite. The analogous limit is proved for the uniform-measure model SOPu\mathrm{SOP}_{\mathrm u}, whereas the multiplicity-weighted SOP case is left conjectural.
