Bounded front-width conjecture for branching Brownian motion with mass decay

About 9 years old · traced to

Let d(t,\b7)d(t,\b7) and D(t,\b7)D(t,\b7) denote the lower and upper front locations for branching Brownian motion with mass decay, respectively. For \b7<1\b7<1, almost surely,

lim sup⁡t→∞∣inf⁡s≥0d(t+s,\b7)−D(t,b7)∣<∞.\limsup_{t\to\infty}\left|\inf_{s\geq 0}d(t+s,\b7)-D(t,b7)\right|<\infty.

Bounded front-width conjecture. For b7<1b7<1, almost surely,

lim sup⁡t→∞∣inf⁡s≥0d(t+s,b7)−D(t,b7)∣<∞.\limsup_{t\to\infty}\left|\inf_{s\geq 0}d(t+s,b7)-D(t,b7)\right|<\infty.

The preceding theorem proves a weaker logarithmic bound, showing that the lower front catches up with the upper front after a delay of order b7log⁡tb7\log t. The conjecture asserts that this delay remains uniformly bounded in the relevant asymptotic sense.
