Chen's fluctuation conjecture for internal DLA on the Sierpinski gasket

Let SG\mathsf{SG} be the Sierpinski gasket graph, let Bn\mathcal{B}_n be the graph-metric ball of radius nn, and let IBn\mathcal{I}_{|\mathcal{B}_n|} be the internal DLA cluster formed from that many particles. Chen's Sierpinski-gasket fluctuation conjecture. There exists C>0C>0 such that

BnClognIBnBn+Clogn.\mathcal{B}_{n-C\sqrt{\log n}}\subset \mathcal{I}_{|\mathcal{B}_n|}\subset \mathcal{B}_{n+C\sqrt{\log n}}.

The known limit shape on the Sierpinski gasket is a graph-metric ball, while the conjectured bound gives sub-logarithmic fluctuations around that shape; the source notes that the analogous harmonic-measure problem on the infinitely ramified Sierpinski carpet remains challenging.
