We give an explicit construction of the scaling limit of the minimum spanning tree of the complete graph. The limit object is described using a recursive construction involving the convex minorants of a Brownian motion with parabolic drift…

For each $n \ge 1$, let $\mathrm{d}^n=(d^{n}(i),1 \le i \le n)$ be a sequence of positive integers with even sum $\sum_{i=1}^n d^n(i) \ge 2n$. Let $(G_n,T_n,\Gamma_n)$ be uniformly distributed over the set of simple graphs $G_n$ with degree…

We consider the tributary structure of Howard's drainage model studied by Gangopadhyay et. al. Conditional on the event that the tributary survives up to time $n$, we show that, as a sequence of random metric spaces, scaled tributary…

We establish a novel bijective encoding that represents permutations as forests of decorated (or enriched) trees. This allows us to prove local convergence of uniform random permutations from substitution-closed classes satisfying a…

Past studies on the local limit of maximal weight matchings in edge-weighted large random graphs rely fundamentally on the assumption that the weights are atomless, which ensures that the maximal weight matching is unique. This excludes de…

We work on a Galton--Watson tree with random weights, in the so-called "subdiffusive" regime. We study the rate of decay of the conductance between the root and the $n$-th level of the tree, as $n$ goes to infinity, by a mostly analytic…

We study the maximal degree of (sub)critical L{\'e}vy trees which arise as the scaling limits of Bienaym{\'e}-Galton-Watson trees. We determine the genealogical structure of large nodes and establish a Poissonian decomposition of the tree…

In the critical beta-splitting model of a random $n$-leaf rooted tree, clades are recursively split into sub-clades, and a clade of $m$ leaves is split into sub-clades containing $i$ and $m-i$ leaves with probabilities $\propto 1/(i(m-i))$.…

We introduce the P\'olya Web, a system of coalescing random walks based on the classic P\'olya urn model. This construction serves as an analogue to the web of coalescing random walks studied by T\'oth and Werner (1998), replacing simple…

We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of critical Galton-Watson trees whose offspring distribution may have infinite variance, which are conditioned on having a large fixed number of leaves. We first find an asymptotic estimate for…

A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi states that every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+ o(1))n$ contains every $n$-vertex tree with maximum degree $O(n/\log{n})$ as a subgraph, and the bounds on…

Motivated by limits of critical inhomogeneous random graphs, we construct a family of sequences of measured metric spaces that we call continuous multiplicative graphs, that are expected to be the universal limit of graphs related to the…

We study $I(T)$, the number of inversions in a tree $T$ with its vertices labeled uniformly at random, which is a generalization of inversions in permutations. We first show that the cumulants of $I(T)$ have explicit formulas involving the…

In the density estimation model, the question of adaptive inference using P\'olya tree-type prior distributions is considered. A class of prior densities having a tree structure, called spike-and-slab P\'olya trees, is introduced. For this…
