Stationary-measure decomposition for kinetically constrained models

From papers

Let E\mathcal{E} be the set of stable configurations, let π\pi be the Bernoulli product measure associated with the KCM, and for each βE\beta\in\mathcal{E} let

πβ=π{η:\bpη=β}\pi_{\beta}=\pi\mid\{\eta:\bp{\eta}{}=\beta\}

be the measure obtained by conditioning π\pi on the event that the associated stable configuration is β\beta.

Stationary-measure decomposition conjecture. If μ\mu is a stationary measure of a KCM, then there exists a probability measure μ\mu_{*} on E\mathcal{E} such that

μ=Edμ(β)πβ.\mu=\int_{\mathcal{E}}d\mu_{*}(\beta)\,\pi_{\beta}.

The conjecture generalizes the preceding theorem for the dd-dimensional East model, where this decomposition is proved. It proposes that every stationary KCM measure is a mixture of the equilibrium measures conditioned on stable configurations; the general KCM case remains open in the paper.
