Weak-limit conjecture for frozen-boundary diffusion

Fix α(0,1)\alpha\in(0,1). Let μt\mu_t be the mass distribution of frozen-boundary diffusion and define the rescaled Borel probability measure μ~t\tilde\mu_t on R\mathbb R by

μ~t(A)=μt({yt:yA})\tilde\mu_t(A)=\mu_t(\{y\sqrt{t}:y\in A\})

for every Borel set ARA\subseteq\mathbb R. Here μ~t    weakμ\tilde\mu_t\mathrel{\stackrel{\mathrm{weak}}{\implies}}\mu denotes weak convergence in the space of finite measures on R\mathbb R.

Weak-limit conjecture. There exists a probability measure μ(α)\mu_{\infty}(\alpha) on R\mathbb R such that, as tt\to\infty,

μ~t    weakμ(α).\tilde\mu_t\mathrel{\stackrel{\mathrm{weak}}{\implies}}\mu_{\infty}(\alpha).

The conjecture is the affirmative answer to the question of whether the rescaled mass distributions have a weak limit. The source does not provide a limiting distribution or evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
