The mean-field conjecture for critical exponents of quasi-isometric trees

Let Γ\Gamma be an infinite dd-regular tree, and let Γ\Gamma' be a graph quasi-isometric to Γ\Gamma, including a decoration of Γ\Gamma. A critical exponent is the power-law exponent governing avalanche-mass probabilities. Mean-field critical-exponent conjecture. The graph Γ\Gamma' has the same critical exponent as Γ\Gamma, namely 32\frac{3}{2}. This proposes that quasi-isometric decorations preserve the mean-field exponent known for infinite regular trees. The paper presents it as a conjecture and does not establish it in general.
