Monotonicity, convexity and limiting value of Lyapunov exponents for the voter model

Let λp(κ)\lambda_p(\kappa) be the ppth Lyapunov exponent of the voter-model catalyst, where κ[0,)\kappa\in[0,\infty) is the reactant diffusion constant, pNp\in\mathbb{N}, and ρ(0,1)\rho\in(0,1) and γ>0\gamma>0 are model parameters.

Voter-model Lyapunov-exponent conjecture. On [0,)[0,\infty), κλp(κ)\kappa\mapsto\lambda_p(\kappa) is strictly decreasing and convex, with

limκλp(κ)=ργ.\lim_{\kappa\to\infty}\lambda_p(\kappa)=\rho\gamma.

The paper notes that the analogous properties are known for the independent simple random walk and simple exclusion process catalysts. Their validity for the voter model is left as a conjecture.
