Scaling limits of bipartite planar maps are homeomorphic to the 2-sphere

Probability 2007-05-23 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We prove that scaling limits of random planar maps which are uniformly distributed over the set of all rooted 2k-angulations are a.s. homeomorphic to the two-dimensional sphere. Our methods rely on the study of certain random geodesic laminations of the disk.
