Corwin–Hammond classification conjecture for extremal Brownian Gibbs line ensembles

A Brownian Gibbs N\mathbb{N}-indexed line ensemble is a random collection of curves L=(Li)iN\mathcal{L}=(\mathcal{L}_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}} satisfying the Brownian Gibbs property. Define the parabolically shifted ensemble A\mathcal{A} by

Ai(t)=21/2Li(t)+t2,iN.\mathcal{A}_i(t)=2^{1/2}\mathcal{L}_i(t)+t^2,\qquad i\in\mathbb{N}.

An ensemble is extremal if it is an extremal point in the convex set of Brownian Gibbs line ensembles, and it is horizontal shift-invariant if its law is invariant under horizontal translations of the time parameter. Corwin–Hammond's conjecture. The set of extremal Brownian Gibbs N\mathbb{N}-indexed line ensembles L\mathcal{L} for which A\mathcal{A} is horizontal shift-invariant is

{LAiry+y:yR},\left\{\mathcal{L}^{\mathrm{Airy}}+y:y\in\mathbb{R}\right\},

where LAiry\mathcal{L}^{\mathrm{Airy}} denotes the Airy line ensemble. This is a classification problem for stationary Brownian Gibbs line ensembles; the Airy line ensemble provides the known model, while the conjecture asserts that its vertical translates are the only extremal examples.
