Critical inverse-temperature conjecture for macroscopic cycles and loops

From papers

Consider the cycle or loop model on the cubic lattice Λn={1,,n}d\Lambda_n=\{1,\dots,n\}^d in Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. Let λ(i)\lambda^{(i)} be the length of the iith-longest cycle, and let ηmacro(β)\eta_{\mathrm{macro}}(\beta) be the fraction of sites lying in macroscopic cycles. Critical-temperature conjecture. Suppose d3d\geq 3. There exists βc>0\beta_c>0 such that, for β>βc\beta>\beta_c, the fractions of sites in infinite and macroscopic cycles (or loops) approach the same typical value

η:=η(β)=ηmacro(β)>0,\eta:=\eta_{\infty}(\beta)=\eta_{\mathrm{macro}}(\beta)>0,

and the vector of ordered normalized cycle lengths

(λ(1)ηnd,λ(2)ηnd,)\left(\frac{\lambda^{(1)}}{\eta n^d},\frac{\lambda^{(2)}}{\eta n^d},\ldots\right)

converges weakly to a random variable ξ\xi in Δ1\Delta_1 as nn\to\infty. This conjecture predicts the emergence of macroscopic cycles above a positive critical inverse temperature; the subsequent Poisson–Dirichlet claim specifies the expected law of ξ\xi.
