Arithmetic kei coloring average-order conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} be squarefree, let K\mathscr{K} be a finite kei, and define

col⁡K(n)=∣Hom⁡Kei⁡cont⁡(kein,K)∣\operatorname{col}_{\mathscr{K}}(n)=\left|\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathscr{K}\operatorname{ei}}^{\operatorname{cont}}(\mathord{\text{kei}}_n,\mathscr{K})\right|

to be the number of continuous K\mathscr{K}-colorings of the arithmetic kei of nn. For X≥1X\geq 1, let

Avg⁡K(X)=∑1≤n≤X, n squarefreecol⁡K(n)∑1≤n≤X, n squarefree1.\operatorname{Avg}_{\mathscr{K}}(X)=\frac{\sum_{1\leq n\leq X,\ n\ \mathrm{squarefree}}\operatorname{col}_{\mathscr{K}}(n)}{\sum_{1\leq n\leq X,\ n\ \mathrm{squarefree}}1}.

Arithmetic kei coloring average-order conjecture. Let K∈Kei⁡\mathscr{K}\in\mathscr{K}\operatorname{ei} be finite. Then there exists aK>0a_{\mathscr{K}}>0 such that

Avg⁡K(X)=aKlog⁡deg⁡PK(X)⋅(1+o(1))\operatorname{Avg}_{\mathscr{K}}(X)=a_{\mathscr{K}}\log^{\deg P_{\mathscr{K}}}(X)\cdot(1+o(1))

as X→∞X\to\infty, where PKP_{\mathscr{K}} is the integer-valued polynomial governing the average number of K\mathscr{K}-colorings of random braid closures. This is motivated by the polynomial average for random braid closures and the analogy between squarefree integers and braid closures; the asserted asymptotic for arithmetic kei colorings remains open.
