Student Probability and Mathematical Physics Seminar

The scaling limit of uniformly random planar maps

Speaker: Enrique Rivera Ferraiuoli, CIMS

Location: Warren Weaver Hall 202

Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2025, 12:30 p.m.

Synopsis:

We will discuss the convergence (in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense, as a scaling limit) of uniformly random quadrangulations to the Brownian map. In some sense, this is the construction of a universal random sphere.
