Percolation and circle-packing modulus conjecture for periodic triangulations

Let TT^* be a triangulation of the torus, and let T^\hat T^* be its universal cover. For αH\alpha\in\mathbb{H}, write T^α\hat T^*_{\alpha} for the corresponding realization in the conformal modulus α\alpha. Percolation modulus conjecture. The critical parameter for site-percolation on T^\hat T^* is 1/21/2, and for every αH\alpha\in\mathbb{H}, critical site-percolation on T^α\hat T^*_{\alpha} has a scaling limit. Moreover, the modulus at which the model is conformally invariant in the scaling limit is the modulus obtained from the circle packing associated to T^\hat T^*:

αTPerc=αTCP.\alpha_T^{\mathrm{Perc}}=\alpha_T^{\mathrm{CP}}.

This conjecture proposes a universality principle for critical site-percolation on periodic triangulations and identifies its conformally invariant embedding with the circle-packing embedding. The source explicitly describes it as closer to wishful thinking, and gives no resolution.
