ASEP backward-geodesic endpoint convergence conjecture

Let Xn(t)X_n(t) denote the particle positions in ASEP with flat initial condition, and let N(t0)N(t\downarrow 0) be the index associated with the backward geodesic endpoint. For jump rates p,qp,q, define

BtASEP=XN(t0)(0)XN(0)(pq)t/221/3((pq)t)2/3.B^{\rm ASEP}_t=\frac{X_{N(t\downarrow0)}(0)-X_N(0)-(p-q)t/2}{2^{1/3}((p-q)t)^{2/3}}.

ASEP backward-geodesic endpoint conjecture. For any NZN\in\mathbb{Z},

limtBtASEP=du^.\lim_{t\to\infty}B^{\rm ASEP}_t\stackrel{d}{=}\hat u.

Here u^\hat u is the limiting endpoint distribution for the corresponding point-to-point last-passage-percolation geodesic. This is a KPZ-scaling prediction for ASEP, following the proved analogous result for TASEP; its resolution is not specified in the source.
