Reinforcement learning (RL) enables an agent interacting with an unknown MDP $M$ to optimise its behaviour by observing transitions sampled from $M$. A natural entity that emerges in the agent's reasoning is $\widehat{M}$, the maximum…

We prove the existence of the local limit of uniform random d-regular bipartite planar maps, for every $d\geq 3$, as the number of vertices tends to infinity. The proof relies on a bijection between maps and so-called blossoming trees…
