Asymptotic enumeration conjecture for racks

From papers

A rack is a set equipped with a binary operation satisfying the rack axioms; two racks are identified when they are isomorphic. Let nn denote the size of the rack. Rack enumeration conjecture. There are

2(1/4+o(1))n22^{(1/4+o(1))n^2}

racks of size nn, up to isomorphism.

The preceding theorem gives the matching upper bound for 22-reductive racks, while the paper cites a lower bound of 2n2/4O(nlogn)2^{n^2/4-O(n\log n)} for such racks. The conjecture asserts that all racks have the same leading asymptotic count, reflecting the observed predominance of 22-reductive racks.
