Abstract

We consider an embedding of planar maps into an equilateral triangle Δ\Delta which we call the Cardy embedding. The embedding is a discrete approximation of a conformal map based on percolation observables that are used in Smirnov's proof of Cardy's formula. Under the Cardy embedding, the planar map induces a metric and an area measure on Δ\Delta and a boundary measure on Δ\partial \Delta. We prove that for uniformly sampled triangulations, the metric and the measures converge jointly in the scaling limit to the Brownian disk conformally embedded into Δ\Delta (i.e., to the 8/3\sqrt{8/3}-Liouville quantum gravity disk). As part of our proof, we prove scaling limit results for critical site percolation on the uniform triangulations, in a quenched sense. In particular, we establish the scaling limit of the percolation crossing probability for a uniformly sampled triangulation with four boundary marked points.
