Large deviation Local Limit Theorems and limits of biconditioned Trees and Maps

Abstract

We first establish new local limit estimates for the probability that a nondecreasing integer-valued random walk lies at time nn at an arbitrary value, encompassing in particular large deviation regimes. This enables us to derive scaling limits of such random walks conditioned by their terminal value at time nn in various regimes. We believe both to be of independent interest. We then apply these results to obtain invariance principles for the Lukasiewicz path of Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson trees conditioned on having a fixed number of leaves and of vertices at the same time, which constitutes a first step towards understanding their large scale geometry. We finally deduce from this scaling limit theorems for random bipartite planar maps under a new conditioning by fixing their number of vertices, edges, and faces at the same time. In the particular case of the uniform distribution, our results confirm a prediction of Fusy & Guitter on the growth of the typical distances and show furthermore that in all regimes, the scaling limit is the celebrated Brownian map.

Comments

Compared to V2 we only changed the presentation: several theorems have been merged and are now stated in a unified way; also the previous section on maps has been split into a section on trees and another one on maps only; last the former technical section 4 has moved to Appendix A
