A glimpse of the conformal structure of random planar maps (Q2515021)

A continuous surface is approximated via triangulation into a finite number \(n\) of triangles. Defining a uniform probability measure \(\mu_n\) on the set of all triangulations of the surface induces a random triangulation \(T_n\). \textit{J.-F. Le Gall} [Ann. Probab. 41, No. 4, 2880--2960 (2013; Zbl 1282.60014)] proved that after scaling the distance in \(T_n\) by the factor \(n^{-1/4}\), the resulting random space converges in distribution to a random metric space called Brownian map. The goal of the author of the present paper is the study of the conformal structure of the boundary of the model of infinite random triangulation with an infinite simple boundary, obtained by \textit{O. Angel} in [``Scaling of percolation on infinite planar maps'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:math/0501006}] as the limit of triangulations with size and perimeter that both go to infinity. It is shown that ``the limit of random planar triangulation has a fractal boundary measure of Hausdorff dimension\(1/3\) almost surely''. The paper presents ``a first step towards a rigorous understanding the links between random planar maps and the Gaussian free field''.
