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

About 2 years old · traced to

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 S⊂ZS\subset\mathbb{Z}.

Convergence conjecture.

lim⁡n→∞μn,2S\lim_{n \to \infty}\mu_{n,2}^S

exists for all finite SS. Also,

lim⁡n→∞μ2n,dS\lim_{n \to \infty}\mu_{2n,d}^S

exists for all finite SS and all d≥2d\ge 2.

The conjecture proposes convergence for every finite boundary condition when d=2d=2, and along even depths for every branching parameter d≥2d\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.
