One-arm conjecture for diffusion-limited aggregation in narrow wedges

About 8 years old · traced to

Let A∞A_\infty be the limiting diffusion-limited aggregation cluster in a wedge, and interpret its arms as the ends of the graph A∞A_\infty. One-arm conjecture. There exists θ0∈(0,2π)\theta_0\in (0,2\pi) such that for any θ∈(0,θ0)\theta\in (0,\theta_0), A∞A_\infty has only one arm.

The conjecture predicts that sufficiently narrow wedges produce a single-ended DLA cluster. Simulations suggest that θ0\theta_0 is smaller than π/4\pi/4; the paper's results do not prove the claim because they lack a lower bound on the growth rate.
