Local convergence conjecture for Schaeffer trees in large quadrangulations

Let QnQ_n be a uniformly random rooted quadrangulation with nn faces, and let znz_n be a uniformly chosen vertex of QnQ_n. Let Schzn(Qn){\rm Sch}_{z_n}(Q_n) denote the Schaeffer tree rooted at znz_n, and let (Q,0Sch)(Q,{0\rm Sch}_\infty) denote the infinite random quadrangulation together with its infinite Schaeffer forest.

Local convergence conjecture. The pair

(Qn,0Schzn(Qn))(Q_n,{0\rm Sch}_{z_n}(Q_n))

converges as nn\to\infty to

(Q,0Sch)(Q,{0\rm Sch}_\infty)

in the sense of local weak convergence.

This conjecture formalizes the interpretation of the infinite forest as the local limit of a Schaeffer tree viewed from a uniformly chosen vertex in a large random quadrangulation. The supplied text gives no resolution, so it remains open.
