Erschler–Tóth–Werner localization conjecture for stuck walks

About 13 years old · traced to

Let α>1/3\alpha>1/3, define α1:=+∞\alpha_1:=+\infty and, for L≥2L\ge2,

αL:=11+2cos⁡(2πL+2).\alpha_L:=\frac{1}{1+2\cos(\frac{2\pi}{L+2})}.

For the walk, let R′R' be the set of sites visited infinitely often,

R′:={j∈Z:Z∞(j)=∞}.R':=\left\{j\in\mathbb{Z}:Z_{\infty}(j)=\infty\right\}.

Erschler–Tóth–Werner's conjecture. If α∈(αL+1,αL)\alpha\in(\alpha_{L+1},\alpha_L), then ∣R′∣=L+2|R'|=L+2 almost surely. This conjecture predicts exact localization of the walk on L+2L+2 sites throughout each interval (αL+1,αL)(\alpha_{L+1},\alpha_L); the cited preceding result establishes only that the probability of this localization is positive.
