Boundary scaling limit conjecture for frozen-boundary diffusion

From papers

For frozen-boundary diffusion with parameter α\alpha, let μt\mu_t be its mass distribution and define the boundary by

βt:=sup{xZ:μt([x,))α2}.\beta_t:=\sup\left\{x\in\mathbb Z:\mu_t([x,\infty))\geq\frac{\alpha}{2}\right\}.

Boundary scaling limit conjecture. For every α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1), there exists α>0\ell_{\alpha}>0 such that

limtβtt=α.\lim_{t\to\infty}\frac{\beta_t}{\sqrt{t}}=\ell_{\alpha}.

The preceding bounds show that βt\beta_t has order t\sqrt{t}; the conjecture asks whether its normalized location converges. The source gives no resolution of this question.
