Villain-model ALE convergence

Let Λn\Lambda_n be the finite domain and let ψn\psi_n be a Villain model in Λn\Lambda_n at sufficiently small temperature TT. Let the discrete ALE be the union of the interfaces associated with the imaginary part of ψn\psi_n, and let Aλ,λ\mathbb{A}_{-\lambda,\lambda} denote the continuum ALE. Villain-ALE conjecture. As nn tends to infinity, the discrete ALE associated with the imaginary part of ψn\psi_n converges to Aλ,λ\mathbb{A}_{-\lambda,\lambda}.

This is a stronger, temperature-dependent analogue of the Gaussian-free-field ALE conjecture. The authors emphasize that the limiting geometry is expected not to depend on the temperature once it is sufficiently small, but the conjectured convergence itself remains open in the supplied text.
