Johansson's uniqueness conjecture for the parabolically shifted Airy process

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let A:R→R\mathcal{A}:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be the Airy process, and consider the parabolically shifted process x↦A(x)−x2x\mapsto\mathcal{A}(x)-x^2.

Johansson's conjecture. Almost surely, x↦A(x)−x2x\mapsto\mathcal{A}(x)-x^2 attains its maximum at a unique point Y∈RY\in\mathbb{R}.

This conjecture concerns the uniqueness of the maximizer governing the scaling limit of a point-to-line geodesic in geometric last passage percolation. It was proved by Corwin and Hammond, with alternate proofs by Pimentel and by Flores and collaborators.
