Coexistence conjecture at the critical long-range exponent

From papers

Consider the competing long-range infection model on Tnd\mathbb T_n^d with long-range parameters α(n)\alpha_\ominus(n) and α(n)\alpha_\oplus(n), infection-rate ratio λ(n)\lambda(n), and coexistence of the two infections. Critical long-range coexistence conjecture. If

α(n)=α(n)=d\alpha_\ominus(n)=\alpha_\oplus(n)=d

for every nNn\in\mathbb N and λ(n)=λ>0\lambda(n)=\lambda>0 is fixed, then coexistence occurs if and only if λ=1\lambda=1. This is presented as a first step toward the unresolved regime in which one or both long-range parameters can reach dd; the source gives no resolution.
