Critical cylinder exponent conjecture for first-passage percolation

From papers

Let an(h)a_n(h) be the first-passage percolation time across a cylinder of length nn and half-height hh, and define

γc(d):=sup{γ:an(nγ)\mathdsE[an(nγ)]Var(an(nγ))N(0,1) as n}.\gamma_c(d):=\sup\left\{\gamma:\frac{a_n(n^\gamma)-\operatorname{\mathds{E}}[a_n(n^\gamma)]}{\sqrt{\operatorname{Var}(a_n(n^\gamma))}}\Longrightarrow N(0,1)\text{ as }n\to\infty\right\}.

For distributions satisfying the stated moment and admissibility conditions, one has γc(d)1/(d+1)\gamma_c(d)\ge 1/(d+1). Critical cylinder exponent conjecture. For any d2d\ge 2,

γc(d)=1d+1.\gamma_c(d)=\frac{1}{d+1}.

The conjecture asserts that the currently known lower bound is sharp; the source notes that there are indications for this, particularly in dimension two.
