Dimension drop conjecture for harmonic measure on Fuchsian limit sets

From papers

Let GG be the group of isometries of the hyperbolic plane H2\mathbb{H}^2. Let μ\mu be a finitely supported probability on GG whose support generates, as a semigroup, a discrete non-elementary subgroup Γ\Gamma, and let Λ\Lambda be the limit set of Γ\Gamma. Let ν\nu be the unique μ\mu-stationary probability measure on Λ\Lambda, and write dim(ν)\dim(\nu) and dim(Λ)\dim(\Lambda) for its exact dimension and the Hausdorff dimension of Λ\Lambda, respectively. Dimension drop conjecture. One has

dim(ν)<dim(Λ).\dim(\nu)<\dim(\Lambda).

The conjecture asserts that equality between the dimension of harmonic measure and the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set never occurs for finitely supported random walks; it is motivated by dimension-drop results for harmonic measure in other settings and remains open here.
