The scaling-limit conjecture for vertex-transitive graphs with polynomial ball growth

About 14 years old · traced to

Let Dn≤ΔnD_n\leq \Delta_n be two sequences going to infinity, and let (Xn)(X_n) be a sequence of vertex-transitive graphs such that the balls of radius DnD_n satisfy

∣B(x,Dn)∣=O(Dnq).|B(x,D_n)|=O(D_n^q).

Scaling-limit conjecture. Then (Xn,d/Δn)(X_n,d/\Delta_n) has a subsequence converging for the pointed GH-topology to a connected nilpotent Lie group equipped with a Carnot–Carathéodory metric. This conjecture proposes a nilpotent Lie-group description of subsequential scaling limits under polynomial local growth. The supplied text gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
