Second-order limit conjecture for the renewal covering

Let (Pn)n(P_n)_n be a renewal covering of the natural numbers as defined in the paper. Let ZZ be a random variable. Second-order limit conjecture.

Pnnln(n)nlnln(n)n    DZ,\frac{P_n-n\mathrm{ln}(n)-n\ln\mathrm{ln}(n)}{n}\overset{D}{\implies}Z,

where the convergence is in distribution.

The paper proves the first-order behavior Pnnln(n)P_n\sim n\mathrm{ln}(n) almost surely and expects the displayed normalization to capture a second-order term, while stating that the corresponding third-order behavior does not persist. The conjecture is left open.
