Connective Constants on Cayley Graphs

For a transitive infinite connected graph $G$, let $μ(G)$ be its connective constant. Denote by $\mathbf{\cal G}$ the set of Cayley graphs for finitely generated infinite groups with an infinite-order generator which is independent of other generators. Assume $G\in\mathbf{\cal G}$ is a Cayley graph of a finitely presented group, and Cayley graph sequence $\{G_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\subset \mathbf{\cal G}$ converges locally to $G.$ Then $μ(G_n)$ converges to $μ(G)$ as $n\rightarrow\infty.$ This confirms partially a conjecture raised by Benjamini [2013. {\it Coarse geometry and randomness.} Lect. Notes Math. {\bf 2100}. Springer.] that connective constant is continuous with respect to local convergence of infinite transitive connected graphs.
