The singularity conjecture for the weighted-cluster generating function

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let Γ′\Gamma' be a decoration of a dd-regular tree, and let g(x)g(x) be the generating function for weighted clusters containing the origin. Let DD denote the exponential growth factor arising in the associated cluster-counting construction. Generating-function singularity conjecture. The closest singularity of g(x)g(x) to the origin is at x=1Dx=\frac{1}{D}, and near 1D\frac{1}{D} its dominant term is (1−Dx)12(1-Dx)^{\frac{1}{2}}. This conjectured square-root singularity would imply a critical exponent of 32\frac{3}{2} for the decorated graph. The paper does not prove the assertion in the general case.
