Thermodynamic-limit conjecture for the random-cluster partition function

Let GnG_n be a graph sequence that converges locally to a Galton--Watson tree. Let ZGn(q,w,B)Z_{G_n}(q,w,B) be the random-cluster partition function with parameters q,w,Bq,w,B, and define the pressure per particle by

φn(q,w,B)=1nlogZGn(q,w,B).\varphi_n(q,w,B)=\frac{1}{n}\log Z_{G_n}(q,w,B).

Thermodynamic limit of the random-cluster partition function. As nn\rightarrow\infty,

φn(q,w,B)φ(q,w,B),\varphi_n(q,w,B)\longrightarrow\varphi(q,w,B),

where φ(q,w,B)\varphi(q,w,B) is defined in the cited equation in the source. This is stated as a conjecture concerning convergence of the pressure for random-cluster models on graphs converging locally to a Galton--Watson tree; the supplied text gives no resolution.
