Conjecture on the distributional pointwise heat-kernel asymptotics of Liouville Brownian motion

Let \textbackslashφ\textbackslash \varphi be the Gaussian free field defining Liouville quantum gravity, let \textbackslashmu\textbackslashφ\textbackslash mu_\textbackslash \varphi be the associated Liouville measure, and sample xx from \textbackslashmu\textbackslashφ\textbackslash mu_\textbackslash \varphi. Let \textbackslashpt(x,x)\textbackslash p_t(x,x) denote the diagonal heat kernel of Liouville Brownian motion. Heat-kernel asymptotics conjecture. As t\textbackslashto0t\textbackslash to0,

t\textbackslashpt(x,x)\textbackslashX,t\textbackslash p_t(x,x)\textbackslash \Rightarrow X,

where XX is a nontrivial random variable. The conjecture is motivated by annealed Laplace-transform asymptotics, but the stated convergence in distribution remains unproved.
