Reversible-scale conjecture for symmetric condensate transitions

From papers

Let SS_{\star} be the set of sites on which the condensate may reside, and let r(x,y)r(x,y) be the jump rates of the underlying random walk. Let Yrv()Y^{\mathrm{rv}}(\cdot) be the Markov chain on SS_{\star} with rates arv(x,y)=r(x,y)a^{\mathrm{rv}}(x,y)=r(x,y), and set θNrv=1/dN\theta_N^{\mathrm{rv}}=1/d_N. Reversible-scale conjecture. Suppose that

r(x,y)=r(y,x)for all x,ySr(x,y)=r(y,x)\quad\text{for all }x,y\in S_{\star}

and limdNlogN=0\lim d_N\log N=0. Then the movement of the condensate is described by the Markov chain Yrv()Y^{\mathrm{rv}}(\cdot) on SS_{\star} with scale θNrv\theta_N^{\mathrm{rv}}. When the antisymmetric rates vanish on SS_{\star}, the non-reversible scale is too short to observe transitions, and the reversible scale is expected to be the correct one; this remains unproved in the source.
