Abstract: The Smith embedding of a finite planar map with two marked vertices, possibly with conductances on the edges, is a way of representing the map as a tiling of a finite cylinder by rectangles. In this embedding, each edge of the planar map corresponds to a rectangle, and each vertex corresponds to a horizontal segment. Given a sequence of finite planar maps embedded in an infinite cylinder, such that the random walk on both the map and its planar dual converges to Brownian motion modulo time change, we prove that the a priori embedding is close to an affine transformation of the Smith embedding at large scales. By applying this result, we prove that the Smith embeddings of mated-CRT maps with the sphere topology converge to $gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity ($gamma$-LQG).
