Many-hole domain conjecture for reflected Brownian motions

For j=1,,kj=1,\dots,k, let B(xj,r)B(0,1){\mathcal B}(x_j,r)\subset {\mathcal B}(0,1), and define

D2=B(0,1)j=1kB(xj,r)R3.D_2={\mathcal B}(0,1)\setminus\bigcup_{j=1}^k\overline{{\mathcal B}(x_j,r)}\subset\mathbb R^3.

Let Theorem j13.5 denote the paper's assertion that, in dimension three and for sufficiently small rr, distinct reflected Brownian motions have distance with positive limsup.

Many-hole domain conjecture. If kk is sufficiently large and

min1jk(1xj)+min1i<jkxixjr\frac{\min_{1\leq j\leq k}(1-|x_j|)+\min_{1\leq i<j\leq k}|x_i-x_j|}{r}

is sufficiently large, then Theorem j13.5 holds for D2D_2.

The conjecture proposes an extension of the three-dimensional torus result to certain bounded subsets of R3\mathbb R^3 containing many well-separated deleted balls. The supplied text does not establish this extension.
