Monotonicity conjecture for Gaussian noise stability at fixed volume

From papers

For a(0,1)a\in(0,1), let J(a,a;ρ)J(a,a;\rho) denote the Gaussian noise-stability quantity for two sets of Gaussian measure aa, and let EρJ(1A(X),1A(Y);ρ)\mathbb{E}_\rho J(1_A(X),1_A(Y);\rho) denote the corresponding quantity for a set ARnA\subset\mathbb{R}^n, where XX and YY are standard Gaussian vectors with correlation ρ\rho. The conjecture asserts that there is a function k(ρ,a)k(\rho,a) such that, for every fixed a(0,1)a\in(0,1),

k(ρ,a)1ρas ρ1,k(\rho,a)\sim\sqrt{1-\rho}\quad\text{as }\rho\to1,

and

k(ρ,a)ρas ρ0,k(\rho,a)\sim\rho\quad\text{as }\rho\to0,

while, for every a(0,1)a\in(0,1) and every ARnA\subset\mathbb{R}^n,

J(a,a;ρ)EρJ(1A(X),1A(Y);ρ)k(ρ,a)\frac{J(a,a;\rho)-\mathbb{E}_\rho J(1_A(X),1_A(Y);\rho)}{k(\rho,a)}

is increasing in ρ\rho. This would remove the half-measure and integrality restrictions in the proposition used to compare Gaussian noise parameters, potentially improving the quantitative robustness results and extending them to arbitrary fixed volumes.
