The square-root logarithmic fluctuation conjecture for IDLA on the Sierpinski gasket

Let SGSG be the graphical Sierpinski gasket, let oo be its source vertex, and let Bo(n)B_o(n) denote the graph-metric ball of radius nn centered at oo. Write I(Bo(n))\mathcal{I}(|B_o(n)|) for the IDLA cluster formed from Bo(n)|B_o(n)| particles. IDLA fluctuation conjecture. There exists C>0C>0 such that

Bo(nClogn)I(Bo(n))Bo(n+Clogn)B_o(n-C\sqrt{\log n})\subset \mathcal{I}(|B_o(n)|)\subset B_o(n+C\sqrt{\log n})

for all nn, with probability 11. The conjecture is motivated by simulations, while the paper's stated status is unresolved.
