Durrett–Rogers law of large numbers conjecture for Brownian polymers

Let (X(t))t0(X(t))_{t\ge0} be the process defined by

X(t)=B(t)+0t0s(ξ(X(s))+f(X(s)X(u))du)ds,X(t)=B(t)+\int_0^t\int_0^s\left(\xi(X(s))+f(X(s)-X(u))\,du\right)ds,

where B(t)B(t) is standard one-dimensional Brownian motion, f:RRf:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R has sufficient regularity and sufficiently fast decay at infinity, and ξ\xi is an initial drift profile. Assume

f(x)=f(x),sgn(f(x))=sgn(x).f(-x)=-f(x),\qquad \operatorname{sgn}(f(x))=\operatorname{sgn}(x).

Durrett–Rogers law of large numbers conjecture. Under these assumptions, X(t)/t0X(t)/t\to0 almost surely. This conjecture concerns the long-time displacement of a one-dimensional self-interacting Brownian polymer; its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
