Conjecture on convergence of integer-valued Lipschitz functions under general boundary conditions

Let μn,dS\mu_{n,d}^S denote the Gibbs measure for integer-valued Lipschitz functions on the depth-nn dd-ary tree with boundary condition given by a finite set SZS\subset\mathbb{Z}.

Convergence conjecture.

limnμn,2S\lim_{n \to \infty}\mu_{n,2}^S

exists for all finite SS. Also,

limnμ2n,dS\lim_{n \to \infty}\mu_{2n,d}^S

exists for all finite SS and all d2d\ge 2.

The conjecture proposes convergence for every finite boundary condition when d=2d=2, and along even depths for every branching parameter d2d\ge2. The paper establishes convergence in several regimes, including the cases considered for small dd, while for large dd it obtains convergence along even sequences; the full assertion remains open.
