Universality conjecture for the dimension of three-stars in Liouville quantum gravity

From papers

Fix a whole-plane Gaussian free field hh and let DhD_h be the associated γ\gamma-Liouville quantum gravity metric for γ(0,2)\gamma\in(0,2). Let S3C\mathfrak{S}_3\subseteq\mathbb{C} denote the set of points from which three geodesics emanate pairwise disjointly except at their common starting point. Universality conjecture for three-stars. Almost surely,

dimDh(S3)=2.\dim_{D_h}(\mathfrak{S}_3)=2.

The precise Hausdorff dimensions of kk-stars are known in some other random geometric models, including Brownian geometry and the directed landscape, but remain largely unknown for general γ\gamma-LQG. This conjecture predicts that the dimension of the set of three-stars is universal across the LQG parameter range.
