Quenched Brownian scaling conjecture for IID horizontal-vertical rotor walks

About 6 years old · traced to

Let q>0q>0, and let (Xt,ρt)t≥0(X_t,\rho_t)_{t\geq 0} be an H⁡\operatorname{\mathcal{H}}--V⁡\operatorname{\mathcal{V}} walk with a single walker, whose initial rotor configuration ρ\rho is sampled from the IID uniform measure on {H⁡,V⁡}\{\operatorname{\mathcal{H}},\operatorname{\mathcal{V}}\}. Let (Bt)t≥0(B_t)_{t\geq 0} denote standard Brownian motion in R2\mathbb{R}^2.

Quenched scaling conjecture. For almost every such ρ\rho,

1n(X⌊nt⌋)t≥0 ⟹n→∞ (Bt)t≥0,\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}(X_{\lfloor nt\rfloor})_{t\geq 0}\ \mathop{\Longrightarrow}_{n\to\infty}\ (B_t)_{t\geq 0},

with convergence weakly in the Skorohod space DR2[0,∞)D_{\mathbb{R}^2}[0,\infty).

The conjecture is motivated by simulations and by the known Brownian scaling limit for the stationary uniform-spanning-tree configuration. The supplied text notes that the case q=0q=0 follows from work of Berger and Deuschel, while the case q>0q>0 remains open.
