Limiting average class size ratio conjecture

For character tables included up to size NN, let Fcls(N,l)F_{\mathrm{cls}}(N,l) denote the cumulative ratio associated with the average conjugacy class size of class-algebra generating sets, through n=ln=l. Assuming the limit exists, define

L(l)=limNFcls(N,l).L(l)=\lim_{N\to\infty}F_{\mathrm{cls}}(N,l).

Average class size conjecture (weak version (b)). The limiting ratio satisfies

limNFcls(N,l)1\lim_{N\to\infty}F_{\mathrm{cls}}(N,l)\geq1

for every ll.

This is the second part of the weaker large-NN formulation and is posed in the source as an open question. It expresses the expectation that the limiting cumulative ratio retains the strong conjecture's inequality.
