The primitive intermediate-growth conjecture for the circular order
The primitive intermediate-growth conjecture for the circular order
Let -categorical mean categorical in every infinite cardinality, and for an -categorical structure let denote the number of orbits of on -element subsets of . A structure is bidefinable with another when each is definable in the other. Let be the generic two-tournament structure and let its betweenness reduct be the reduct mentioned in the source.
Primitive intermediate-growth conjecture. If a primitive -categorical structure satisfies
for some polynomials and , then is bidefinable with or its betweenness reduct.
The conjecture proposes a classification of primitive -categorical structures with orbit growth lying between two polynomially corrected copies of . The source presents it after noting that the circular-order betweenness structure has the slowest known primitive growth in this range; it remains open.
