Critical recurrence conjecture for stationary random walks on virtually--Z lamplighter groups

From papers

Let GG be a virtually-Z\mathbb{Z} group and let HH be a nontrivial finite group. Let λc\lambda_c be the critical parameter such that the λ\lambda-stationary random walk on HGH\wr G is transient for λ<λc\lambda<\lambda_c and recurrent for λ>λc\lambda>\lambda_c. Critical recurrence conjecture. The λ\lambda-stationary random walk on HGH\wr G is recurrent also when λ=λc\lambda=\lambda_c. This conjecture predicts that the phase transition established for virtually-Z\mathbb{Z} base groups includes its critical parameter; the recurrence at λ=λc\lambda=\lambda_c remains open in the stated context.
