Conformal dimension of a metric space $X$, denoted by $\dim_C X$, is the infimum of the Hausdorff dimension among all its quasisymmetric images. If conformal dimension of $X$ is equal to its Hausdorff dimension, $X$ is said to be minimal…
We prove that the volume measure of the Brownian sphere is equal to a constant multiple of the Hausdorff measure associated with the gauge function $h(r)=r^4\log\log(1/r)$. This shows in particular that the volume measure of the Brownian…
We investigate a quasisymmetrically invariant counterpart of the topological Hausdorff dimension of a metric space. This invariant, called the topological conformal dimension, gives a lower bound on the topological Hausdorff dimension of…
Previous works in this series have shown that an instance of a $\sqrt{8/3}$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) sphere has a well-defined distance function, and that the resulting metric measure space (mm-space) agrees in law with the Brownian…
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…
Consider the boundary $\partial \mathbb D$ of the Brownian disk $\mathbb D$ as a metric space by endowing it with the (restriction of the) metric of $\mathbb D$. We show that the uniform measure on $\partial \mathbb D$ coincides with the…
We establish uniformization results for metric spaces that are homeomorphic to the euclidean plane or sphere and have locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure. Applying the geometric definition of quasiconformality, we give a necessary and…
We first consider the additive Brownian motion process $(X(s_1,s_2),\ (s_1,s_2) \in \mathbb{R}^2)$ defined by $X(s_1,s_2) = Z_1(s_1) - Z_2 (s_2)$, where $Z_1$ and $Z_2 $ are two independent (two-sided) Brownian motions. We show that with…
The Brownian map is a model of random geometry on the sphere and as such an important object in probability theory and physics. It has been linked to Liouville Quantum Gravity and much research has been devoted to it. One open question asks…
The Brownian sphere is a random metric space, homeomorphic to the two-dimensional sphere, which arises as the universal scaling limit of many types of random planar maps. The direct construction of the Brownian sphere is via a continuous…
In a series of recent preprints, we have proven that with probability one the Hausdorff dimension on the outer boundary of planar Brownian motion is 4/3, confirming a conjecture by Mandelbrot. It is also shown that the Hausdorff dimension…
We define and study a set of operators that compute statistical properties of the Brownian Loop Soup, a conformally invariant gas of random Brownian loops (Brownian paths constrained to begin and end at the same point) in two dimensions. We…
In this paper we provide a sharp characterization of the smooth four-dimensional sphere. The assumptions of the theorem are conformally invariant, and can be reduced to an L^2 inequality of the Weyl tensor and positivity of the Yamabe…
We introduce and study the random non-compact metric space called the Brownian plane, which is obtained as the scaling limit of the uniform infinite planar quadrangulation. Alternatively, the Brownian plane is identified as the…
We prove that any metric surface (that is, metric space homeomorphic to a 2-manifold with boundary) with locally finite Hausdorff 2-measure is the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of polyhedral surfaces with controlled geometry. We use this result,…
A metric space $\mathcal{S}$ is called a \defn{quasisphere} if there is a quasisymmetric homeomorphism $f\colon S^2\to \mathcal{S}$. We consider the elliptic harmonic measure, i.e., the push forward of 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure by $f$.…
Simulations support the conjecture that the dimension of the trace of Brownian earthworm is strictly greater than 3/2.
In this work we discuss an approach due to F. David to the geometry of world sheets of non-critical strings in quasiclassical approximation. The gravitational dressed conformal dimension is related to the scaling behavior of the two-point…
In this paper, the scaling limit of random connected cubic planar graphs (respectively multigraphs) is shown to be the Brownian sphere. The proof consists in essentially two main steps. First, thanks to the known decomposition of cubic…
