Moment lower-bound conjecture for bootstrap percolation on Galton–Watson trees

Let TξT_\xi be a Galton–Watson tree with offspring distribution ξ\xi. Moment lower-bound conjecture. For every r2r\geq 2 and α(0,r1]\alpha\in(0,r-1], there exists a constant cr,α>0c_{r,\alpha}>0 such that

pc(Tξ,r)cr,α(E(ξ1+α))1/α.p_c(T_\xi,r)\geq c_{r,\alpha}\left({\mathbb E}(\xi^{1+\alpha})\right)^{-1/\alpha}.

This extends the previously established moment lower bound from α(0,1]\alpha\in(0,1] to all αr1\alpha\leq r-1; the source gives no resolution.
