Durrett–Rogers law of large numbers conjecture for Brownian polymers

About 17 years old · traced to

Let (X(t))t≥0(X(t))_{t\ge0} be the process defined by

X(t)=B(t)+∫0t∫0s(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:R→Rf:\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)/t→0X(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.
