Hydrodynamic limit conjecture for the BHP

About 7 years old · traced to

Let ρ0:R→[0,1]\rho_0: \mathbb{R}\rightarrow[0,1] be an initial density profile, and let {νϵ}ϵ∈R>0 \{\nu^{\epsilon}\}_{\epsilon\in\mathbb{R}_{>0}} be probability measures on the configuration space C \mathcal{C} associated to ρ0\rho_0. For fixed ϵ>0 \epsilon>0, let ηtϵ∈C \eta_t^{\epsilon}\in\mathcal{C} be the BHP configuration at time t>0 t>0 under time acceleration by ϵ−1 \epsilon^{-1}, with initial law νϵ \nu^{\epsilon}. Let πtϵ \pi_t^{\epsilon} be the corresponding random empirical measure, and write πt(dz)=ρ(z,t) dz \pi_t(dz)=\rho(z,t)\,dz. The BHP hydrodynamic-limit conjecture. For every t>0 t>0, πtϵ \pi_t^{\epsilon} converges in probability to πt \pi_t in the sense of the stated empirical-measure convergence, where ρ \rho solves

∂ρ(t,z)∂t=∂∂z[1−ρ(t,z)ρ(t,z)∫z∞ρ(t,w) dw],ρ(0,z)=ρ0(z).\frac{\partial\rho(t,z)}{\partial t}=\frac{\partial}{\partial z}\left[\frac{1-\rho(t,z)}{\rho(t,z)}\int_z^{\infty}\rho(t,w)\,dw\right],\qquad \rho(0,z)=\rho_0(z).

This conjecture proposes the hydrodynamic limit for the BHP, analogous to the known hydrodynamic limit for TASEP, but with a nonlocal evolution equation determined by the BHP generator. The source provides no resolution, so the status remains open.
