Abstract

We prove scaling limit results for the finite-volume version of the inventory accumulation model of Sheffield (2011), which encodes a random planar map decorated by a collection of loops sampled from the critical Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) model. In particular, we prove that the random walk associated with the finite-volume version of this model converges in the scaling limit to a correlated Brownian motion Z˙\dot Z conditioned to stay in the first quadrant for two units of time and satisfy Z˙(2)=0\dot Z(2) = 0. We also show that the times which describe complementary connected components of FK loops in the discrete model converge to the π/2\pi/2-cone times of Z˙\dot Z. Combined with recent results of Duplantier, Miller, and Sheffield, our results imply that many interesting functionals of the FK loops on a finite-volume FK planar map (e.g. their boundary lengths and areas) converge in the scaling limit to the corresponding "quantum" functionals of the CLEκ_\kappa loops on a 4/κ4/\sqrt\kappa-Liouville quantum gravity sphere for κ(4,8)\kappa \in (4,8). Our results are finite-volume analogues of the scaling limit theorems for the infinite-volume version of the inventory accumulation model proven by Sheffield (2011) and Gwynne, Mao, and Sun (2015).
