Dettmann's maximal-horizon asymptotic conjecture for periodic Lorentz processes
Dettmann's maximal-horizon asymptotic conjecture for periodic Lorentz processes
Let be a lattice defining a periodic Lorentz process, let be the free-path tail probability, and let denote the set of maximal non-incipient horizons. For each horizon , let be the probability that a free path remains in throughout the time interval . Dettmann's maximal-horizon conjecture. If the process has at least one non-incipient maximal horizon, then, as ,
This conjecture predicts that the tail of the free-path distribution is asymptotically determined by the maximal non-incipient horizons. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
