Random-phase triangular factorization conjecture for loops in SU(2)SU(2)

Let k2k_2 be the loop associated with a sequence ζ=(ζn)\zeta=(\zeta_n) satisfying ζl2\zeta\in l^2, and suppose the phases of the ζk\zeta_k are uniform and independent random variables. A triangular factorization of k2k_2 has the form

k2=(1j=1xjzj01)(a200a21)(α2(z)β2(z)γ2(z)δ2(z)),k_2=\left(\begin{matrix}1&\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}x_j^*z^{-j}\\0&1\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}\mathbf a_2&0\\0&\mathbf a_2^{-1}\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix}\alpha_2(z)&\beta_2(z)\gamma_2(z)&\delta_2(z)\end{matrix}\right),

where a2>0\mathbf a_2>0 and the final factor has the required holomorphic or VMOVMO regularity. Random-phase triangular factorization conjecture. Under these assumptions, k2k_2 has a triangular factorization as in (II.3). The conjecture proposes a probabilistic condition that may ensure factorization despite the failure of ζl2\zeta\in l^2 alone to guarantee the needed cubic convolution convergence; the deterministic problem remains unresolved in the stated setting.
