Asymptotic equivalence of full and Gaussian maxT power

From papers

Let H\overline{H} be the matrix appearing in the maxT procedure, let ι\iota denote the all-ones vector, and define

h=Hι.\overline{h}=\overline{H}\iota.

Suppose that EE has independent and identically distributed rows with distribution N(0,I)\mathcal{N}(0,I), and that μl=μ1\mu_l=\mu_1 for every 1lp1\leq l\leq p. Let Z1N(n1/2μ1,1)Z_1\sim\mathcal{N}(n^{1/2}\mu_1,1), and let YY have independent and identically distributed rows with distribution N(0,I)\mathcal{N}(0,I). Writing qαhq_\alpha^{\overline{h}} and qαh,Yq_\alpha^{\overline{h},Y} for the relevant maxT quantiles, asymptotic power equivalence conjecture. As p,np,n\to\infty,

1pj=1pPE[n1/2μ1+ιEj>qαh(n1/2hιμ1+maxihEi)]PZ1[Z1>qαh,Y(n1/2hιμ1+max1lpYl)]0.\left|\frac{1}{p}\sum_{j=1}^p \mathbb{P}_E\left[n^{1/2}\mu_1+\iota'E_j>q_\alpha^{\overline{h}}\left(n^{1/2}\overline{h}'\iota\mu_1+\max_i\overline{h}'E_i\right)\right]-\mathbb{P}_{Z_1}\left[Z_1>q_\alpha^{\overline{h},Y}\left(n^{1/2}\overline{h}'\iota\mu_1+\max_{1\leq l\leq p}Y_l\right)\right]\right|\to0.

The conjecture asserts that the average rejection probability based on the full error matrix is asymptotically equivalent to the corresponding probability computed using an auxiliary Gaussian matrix. Its validity is presented heuristically in the paper, and no resolution is supplied in the source.
