The supercritical Gaussian multiplicative chaos renormalization conjecture

Let XX be the log-correlated Gaussian field defining the Gaussian multiplicative chaos measures Mεγ,0M^{\gamma,0}_\varepsilon, and let MM' denote the derivative martingale. Assume γ>2d\gamma>\sqrt{2d} and set α=2dγ\alpha=\frac{\sqrt{2d}}{\gamma}. Let NαN_\alpha be an independently scattered random measure whose conditional law given MM' is characterized by

AB(Rd), qgeqslant0,\mathdsE[eqNα(A)M]=eqαM(A).\forall A\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^d),\ \forall qgeqslant 0,\quad \mathds{E}[e^{-qN_\alpha(A)}\mid M']=e^{-q^\alpha M'(A)}.

Supercritical renormalization conjecture. As ε0\varepsilon\to0,

(\lnvarepsilon)3γ22dεγ2ddMεγ,0(dx)lawcγNα(dx),(-\lnvarepsilon)^{\frac{3\gamma}{2\sqrt{2d}}}\varepsilon^{\gamma\sqrt{2d}-d}M^{\gamma,0}_\varepsilon(\mathrm{d}x)\stackrel{\mathrm{law}}{\longrightarrow}c_\gamma N_\alpha(\mathrm{d}x),

where cγc_\gamma is a positive constant depending on γ\gamma.

The conjecture concerns universality of the supercritical renormalization across cutoff approximations. The source reports that it was proved for compactly supported covariance kernels and for specific cutoff schemes for the massless Gaussian free field in a bounded domain and the massive planar Gaussian free field, while convergence for a broad class of cutoff approximations remains open.
