Diffusivity exponent conjecture for self-repelling Brownian polymers

Let E(t)=E(X(t)2)E(t)={\mathbf E}(X(t)^2), and suppose that for some 1<α<1-1<\alpha<1 the infrared bounds

C1:=limp0pαb^(p)<,C2:=limp0pαb^(p)>0C_1:=\varlimsup_{p\to0}|p|^{-\alpha}\hat b(p)<\infty,\qquad C_2:=\varliminf_{p\to0}|p|^{-\alpha}\hat b(p)>0

hold. Diffusivity exponent conjecture. Under these conditions, the true asymptotic order is

E(t)t43+α.E(t)\asymp t^{\frac{4}{3+\alpha}}.

The conjecture refines the upper and lower bounds proved in the paper and agrees, for α=0\alpha=0, with the previously conjectured order E(t)t4/3E(t)\asymp t^{4/3}; the supplied status evidence indicates that it has been resolved.
