The norm conjecture for random stable commutator length subspaces

Let (G,μ,Y)(G,\mu,Y) be nondegenerate in the sense of Definition~. Let g1,,gkg_1,\ldots,g_k be obtained by independent even-length random walks on GG of lengths 1n,,kn\ell_1n,\ldots,\ell_kn, conditioned to lie in [G,G][G,G]. Norm conjecture. There are constants C>0C>0 and C1>0C_1>0 such that, for every finite integer kk, every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, and the corresponding formal coefficients tit_i,

P(scl(tigi)lognnCtiiϵ)1enC1.{\mathbf P}\left(\left|\operatorname{scl}\left(\sum t_i g_i\right)\frac{\log n}{n}-C\sum t_i\ell_i\right|\le\epsilon\right)\ge 1-e^{-n^{C_1}}.

The source says this conjecture would follow from the concentration conjecture and presents it as a conjectural description of the scl norm on a random subspace; it is not resolved here.
