We provide a geometric representation of the Poisson and Martin boundaries of a transient, bounded degree triangulation of the plane in terms of its circle packing in the unit disc. (This packing is unique up to M\"obius transformations.)…

We prove that the metric space associated with a uniformly distributed planar quadrangulation with n faces and no pendant vertices converges modulo a suitable rescaling to the Brownian map. This is a first step towards the extension of…

We discuss the asymptotic behaviour of random critical Boltzmann planar maps in which the degree of a typical face belongs to the domain of attraction of a stable law with index $\alpha \in (1,2]$. We prove that when conditioning such maps…

We introduce and study a universal model of random geometry in two dimensions. To this end, we start from a discrete graph drawn on the sphere, which is chosen uniformly at random in a certain class of graphs with a given size $n$, for…

We consider a random planar map $M_n$ which is uniformly distributed over the class of all rooted q-angulations with n faces. We let $\mathbf{m}_n$ be the vertex set of $M_n$, which is equipped with the graph distance $d_\mathrm{gr}$. Both…

For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $\mathbf{Q}_n$ be a uniform rooted measured quadrangulation of size $n$ conditioned to have $r(n)$ vertices in its root block. We prove that for a suitable function $r(n)$, after rescaling graph distance by…

We consider an embedding of planar maps into an equilateral triangle $\Delta$ 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…

Discrete conformal mappings based on circle packing, vertex scaling, and related structures has had significant activity since Thurston proposed circle packing as a way to approximate conformal maps in the 1980s. The first convergence…

Given a unimodular real spherical space $Z=G/H$ we construct for each boundary degeneration $Z_I=G/H_I$ of $Z$ a Bernstein morphism $B_I: L^2(Z_I)_{\rm disc }\to L^2(Z)$. We show that $B:=\bigoplus_I B_I$ provides an isospectral…

We derive a new representation of the Brownian disk in terms of a forest of labeled trees, where labels correspond to distances from a subset of the boundary. We then use this representation to obtain a spatial Markov property showing that…

We obtain a sharp estimate on the norm of the differential of a harmonic map from the unit disc $\mathbb D$ in $\mathbb C$ into the unit ball $\mathbb B^n$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$, at any point where the map is conformal. In dimension…
