Recurrence conjecture for the critical biased random walk on self-avoiding-walk trees

Let THT_{\mathbb H} and TZ2T_{\mathbb Z^2} be the trees of self-avoiding walks in the half-plane and in Z2\mathbb Z^2, respectively, and let RWλcRW_{\lambda_c} denote the biased random walk at the critical bias parameter λc\lambda_c.

Critical-walk recurrence conjecture. The biased random walk RWλcRW_{\lambda_c} on THT_{\mathbb H} or TZ2T_{\mathbb Z^2} is recurrent.

The conjecture is motivated by a cutset criterion and the predicted growth estimates for the number of self-avoiding walks. The supplied text gives no resolution, so recurrence at criticality remains open here.
