Sharp entropy-at-infinity upper bound for uniformly continuous potentials

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a pinched negatively curved manifold. Let (μn)n(\mu_n)_n be a sequence of invariant probability measures converging vaguely to μ\mu, and let FCb(T1M)F\in C_b(T^1M) be a uniformly continuous potential. Sharp entropy-at-infinity conjecture. Then

lim supn(hμn(g)+Fdμn)μ(hμ/μ(g)+Fdμ/μ)+(1μ)δΓ,F.\limsup_{n\to\infty} \bigg(h_{\mu_n}(g)+\int Fd\mu_n\bigg)\leqslant |\mu|\bigg(h_{\mu/|\mu|}(g)+\int Fd\mu/|\mu|\bigg)+(1-|\mu|)\delta^F_{\Gamma,\infty}.

This conjecture asserts that the pressure contribution from mass escaping to infinity is governed by the entropy at infinity of the potential, improving the general bound involving δ+c(F)\delta_\infty+c(F). Its resolution is not supplied in the source context.
