Vershik's uniqueness conjecture for the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution under CCF

Let Ω1\Omega_1 be the space of decreasing nonnegative sequences with sum 11, and let μ^1\widehat{\mu}_1 denote the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution on Ω1\Omega_1 with parameter θ=1\theta=1. Let the CCF process be the continuous coagulation-fragmentation process arising as the scaling limit of the discrete coagulation-fragmentation chains under random transpositions. Vershik's conjecture. μ^1\widehat{\mu}_1 is the unique invariant distribution for the CCF. The Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with parameter 11 is already known to be invariant; the conjecture concerns uniqueness of the invariant distribution for the limiting coagulation-fragmentation process.
