Small-angle growth-rate conjecture for diffusion-limited aggregation in wedges

From papers

Let (An)n0(A_n)_{n\geq 0} be the DLA cluster process in the wedge Wθ1,θ2W_{\theta_1,\theta_2}, and define its growth rate by

gr((An)n0)=sup{β1/2:lim supndiam(An)nβ>0},\mathrm{gr}((A_n)_{n\geq 0})=\sup\left\{\beta\geq 1/2:\limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\operatorname{diam}(A_n)}{n^\beta}>0\right\},

where diam\operatorname{diam} denotes Euclidean diameter, and let Pθ1,θ2\mathbb{P}_{\theta_1,\theta_2} be the law of the process. Small-angle growth-rate conjecture. The growth rate is Pθ1,θ2\mathbb{P}_{\theta_1,\theta_2}-almost surely a constant and, as θ0\theta\rightarrow 0, it converges to 11.

This conjecture supplies the growth-rate lower bound that would help establish the one-arm conjecture in narrow wedges. The source presents it as a more ambitious conjecture; no proof or resolution is given.
