Conditional non-degeneracy conjecture for spherical simplices

Fix k2k\geq 2, and let Wd+k,d\mathcal W_{d+k,d} be the random polyhedral cone in the paper's model. Write α(Wd+k,d)\alpha(\mathcal W_{d+k,d}) for its solid angle. Condition on the event that

Wd+k,dSd1\mathcal W_{d+k,d}\cap\mathbb S^{d-1}

is a spherical simplex.

Conditional non-degeneracy conjecture. For fixed k2k\geq 2, the conditional distribution of α(Wd+k,d)\alpha(\mathcal W_{d+k,d}) converges weakly as dd\to\infty to a limit law not concentrated at 00.

The conjecture predicts that the rare spherical-simplex event is caused by a cone with solid angle of constant order, rather than by angles collapsing to zero. No resolution is stated in the supplied text.
