Scaling-limit conjecture for the wetting-model dynamics

Let K={hH:h0 a.e.}K=\{h\in H:h\geq 0\ \text{a.e.}\}, where H=L2(0,1)H=L^2(0,1), and let μ\mu be the law on KK of a reflecting Brownian motion on [0,1][0,1]. Let (ut)t0(u_t)_{t\geq 0} be the reversible Markov process associated with the Dirichlet form

E(f,g)=12f,gdμ,\mathcal{E}(f,g)=\frac12\int\langle\nabla f,\nabla g\rangle\,\mathrm{d}\mu,

started from equilibrium, so that u0=(d)μu_0\overset{(d)}{=}\mu. Let (YtN)t[0,T](Y_t^N)_{t\in[0,T]} denote the rescaled wetting-model process. Scaling-limit conjecture. For all T>0T>0, as NN\to\infty, (YtN)t[0,T](Y_t^N)_{t\in[0,T]} converges in law in C([0,T],H1(0,1))C([0,T],H^{-1}(0,1)) to (ut)t[0,T](u_t)_{t\in[0,T]}. The conjecture identifies the dynamical scaling limit with the Markov process whose formal equation includes reflection at zero; the source establishes tightness of the approximating family but leaves identification of the limit conjectural.
