Biane–Speicher's convergence conjecture for a weak double-well potential

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let VV be the double-well potential

V(x)=12x2+g4x4,V(x)={1\over 2}x^2+{g\over 4}x^4,

where gg is a negative constant sufficiently close to zero, and let μt\mu_t and μV\mu_V denote the empirical measure process and the equilibrium measure associated with VV. Biane–Speicher's conjecture. Then μt\mu_t converges weakly to μV\mu_V. This conjecture concerns convergence for a weak non-convex perturbation of the quadratic potential and is attributed in the source to Biane and Speicher; its general resolution is not stated.
