Conjecture on extremal stationary measures for the half-space log-gamma polymer

About 4 years old · traced to

Let α>0\alpha>0, u>−αu>-\alpha, and let zu,vz_{u,v} be the explicitly constructed stationary processes indexed by v∈(−α,min⁡(u,0)]v\in(-\alpha,\min(u,0)] for the half-space log-gamma polymer. For initial data z(k,0)z(k,0) satisfying lim⁡k→∞log⁡z(k,0)/k=−d\lim_{k\to\infty}\log z(k,0)/k=-d, define v=ψ−1(d)−αv=\psi^{-1}(d)-\alpha, where ψ−1(d)\psi^{-1}(d) is the unique positive root of ψ(z)=d\psi(z)=d. Extremal stationary-measure conjecture. The family {zu,v}v∈(−α,min⁡(u,0)]\{z_{u,v}\}_{v\in(-\alpha,\min(u,0)]} constitutes all extremal stationary measures, and the normalized process z(⋅,m)/z(m,m)z(\cdot,m)/z(m,m) converges weakly to the phase-dependent limit: zu,vz_{u,v} or zu,0z_{u,0} when u⩾0u\geqslant0, and zu,vz_{u,v} or zu,uz_{u,u} when u⩽0u\leqslant0, with the alternatives determined respectively by v⩽0v\leqslant0 versus v⩾0v\geqslant0, and v⩽uv\leqslant u versus v⩾uv\geqslant u. This is presented as the discrete counterpart of the KPZ stationary-measure conjecture.
