Poisson boundary conjecture for bounded-range lamplighter walks on oriented trees

Let T\mathcal{T} be an oriented tree with a fixed end, and let (Zn)(Z_n) be a random walk with bounded range on Z2T\mathbb{Z}_2\wr\mathcal{T}. Write (Xn)(X_n) for its projection to T\mathcal{T}, and suppose that (Xn)(X_n) has zero modular drift. The lamp configuration is said to have an infinite limit configuration when it converges pointwise along the walk. Poisson boundary conjecture. The Poisson boundary of (Zn)(Z_n) is isomorphic to the space of infinite limit configurations of lamps, endowed with the respective hitting distribution. This would extend the nearest-neighbour result proved in the paper to bounded-range walks and bounded-range lamp changes; the claim remains open because the proof established only the nearest-neighbour case.
