Large-diffusion asymptotics for voter-model Lyapunov exponents

At least 18 years old · documented by

Let d≥5d\geq5, let ρ∈(0,∞)\rho\in(0,\infty) and p∈Np\in\mathbb{N}, and assume the symmetric random-walk condition denoted by (SRW) in the source. Let pt(0,0)p_t(0,0) be the return transition probability, and define

Gd=∫0∞pt(0,0) dt,Gd∗=∫0∞t pt(0,0) dt.G_d=\int_0^\infty p_t(0,0)\,dt,\qquad G_d^\ast=\int_0^\infty t\,p_t(0,0)\,dt.

Also define

Large-diffusion asymptotic conjecture. The limit

lim⁡κ→∞2dκ[λp(κ)−ργ]=ρ(1−ρ)γ2Gd∗Gd+1{d=5}(2d)3[ρ(1−ρ)γ2pGd]2P5\lim_{\kappa\to\infty}2d\kappa[\lambda_p(\kappa)-\rho\gamma]=\rho(1-\rho)\gamma^2\frac{G_d^\ast}{G_d}+1_{\{d=5\}}(2d)^3\left[\rho(1-\rho)\gamma^2\frac{p}{G_d}\right]^2\mathcal{P}_5

exists.

This conjecture specifies the first large-κ\kappa correction to the Lyapunov exponent in dimensions at least five, including an additional dimension-five term. The source does not provide a resolution.
