Exponential enumeration conjecture for set-theoretic Yang–Baxter solutions

A set-theoretic solution of the Yang–Baxter equation is a solution considered up to isomorphism, and its size is the cardinality of its underlying set. Let nn denote the size of the solution. Solution enumeration conjecture. There are

2O(n2)2^{O(n^2)}

solutions of size nn, up to isomorphism.

The paper compares the total number of solutions with the number of multipermutation solutions of level 22, for which it proves an upper bound of 2(1/4+o(1))n22^{(1/4+o(1))n^2}. The conjecture proposes that the total number of solutions remains bounded by an exponential of order n2n^2, although the source's supplied context does not specify whether the solutions are restricted to a particular class beyond the surrounding discussion.
