Free-energy asymptotics conjecture for directed polymers on fractal graphs

Let Fq(β)F_q(\beta) and Fa(β)F_a(\beta) denote the quenched and annealed free energies of the directed polymer, respectively, let dsd_s be the spectral dimension of the underlying fractal graph, and let ZT\mathcal{Z}_T be the limiting random variable from the preceding scaling-limit conjecture. Free-energy asymptotics conjecture. Under the assumption in the scaling-limit conjecture,

limβ0β42ds(Fq(β)Fa(β))=limT1TP[logZT].\lim_{\beta\to 0}\beta^{-\frac{4}{2-d_s}}\bigl(F_q(\beta)-F_a(\beta)\bigr)=\lim_{T\to\infty}\frac{1}{T}\mathcal{P}\left[\log\mathcal{Z}_T\right].

The claim identifies the weak-disorder free-energy gap with the long-time growth rate of the limiting stochastic heat equation. It expresses the expected interchange of the small-disorder and large-time limits, but the supplied text gives no resolution.
