DLA growth exponent conjecture for lattice aggregates

Let G=\bmathbbZdG=\bmathbb{Z}^d and let (At)t(A_t)_t be DLA on GG started at A0=\b0A_0=\b{0}. Write rad(At)\operatorname{rad}(A_t) for the radius of the aggregate.

DLA growth exponent conjecture. There exists 1d<α<1\tfrac{1}{d}<\alpha<1 such that

0<lim infttαErad(At)lim supttαErad(At)<.0<\liminf_{t\to\infty}t^{-\alpha}\operatorname{\mathbb{E}}\operatorname{rad}(A_t)\leq\limsup_{t\to\infty}t^{-\alpha}\operatorname{\mathbb{E}}\operatorname{rad}(A_t)<\infty.

The conjecture predicts a nontrivial fractal growth exponent for DLA on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. It is stated as open in the source: no lower bound with an exponent strictly larger than 1/d1/d is known, although upper bounds are available from work of Kesten.
