Shlyakhtenko–Tao entropy conjecture for the bead process
Let be a probability measure and let denote its free compression for . Define the sub-probability measure of total mass by , and let be the Lagrangian density associated with the quantile function of . Shlyakhtenko and Tao's conjecture. The Lagrangian density is proportional to the entropy of the bead process. This conjecture seeks an interpretation of the variational description of free compression in terms of the entropy of the bead process; the source provides no resolution.
