Abstract: Let $gammain(0,2)$ and let $h$ be the random distribution on $mathbbC$ which describes a $gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) cone. Also let $kappa=16/gamm{a}^2>4$ and let $eta$ be a whole-plane space-filling SLE${}_{k}appa$ curve sampled independent from $h$ and parametrized by $gamma$-quantum mass with respect to $h$. We study a family ${mathcal{G}^{e}psilon}_{epsilon>0}$ of planar maps associated with $(h,eta)$ called the extit{LQG structure graphs} (a.k.a. extit{mated-CRT maps}) which we conjecture converge in probability in the scaling limit with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff topology to a random metric space associated with $gamma$-LQG. In particular, $mathcal{G}^{e}psilon$ is the graph whose vertex set is $epsilonmathbbZ$, with two such vertices $x_1,x_{2}inepsilonmathbbZ$ connected by an edge if and only if the corresponding curve segments $eta([x_1-epsilon,x_1])$ and $eta([x_2-epsilon,x_2])$ share a non-trivial boundary arc. Due to the peanosphere description of SLE-decorated LQG due to Duplantier, Miller, and Sheffield (2014), the graph $mathcal{G}^{e}psilon$ can equivalently be expressed as an explicit functional of a correlated two-dimensional Brownian motion, so can be studied without any reference to SLE or LQG. We prove non-trivial upper and lower bounds for the cardinality of a graph-distance ball of radius $n$ in $mathcal{G}^{e}psilon$ which are consistent with the prediction of Watabiki (1993) for the Hausdorff dimension of LQG. Using subadditivity arguments, we also prove that there is an exponent $chi>0$ for which the expected graph distance between generic points in the subgraph of $mathcal{G}^{e}psilon$ corresponding to the segment $eta([0,1])$ is of order $epsilo{n}^{-chi+o_{e}psilon(1)}$, and this distance is extremely unlikely to be larger than $epsilo{n}^{-chi+o_{e}psilon(1)}$.
