Abstract: We prove that the metric space associated with a uniformly distributed planar quadrangulation with n faces and no pendant vertices converges modulo a suitable rescaling to the Brownian map. This is a first step towards the extension of recent convergence results for random planar maps to the case of graphs satisfying local constraints.


A quadrangulation is a planar map with four vertices incident to any face. Pendant vertices (with degree 1) are not allowed. A random quadrangulation is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the set of all rooted quadrangulations with \(n\) faces. Using a bijection between planar maps and certain labeled trees, it is shown that there holds a convergence in distribution to a Brownian map for \(n\) tending towards infinity.
