Conjectured Brownian-sphere limit for planar sparse random maps

Let Mn(fn,0)\mathrm{M}_n(\mathrm{f}_n,0) be a random plane map with fn\mathrm{f}_n faces and nn edges. Assume

fn,n1fn0.\mathrm{f}_n\to\infty,\qquad n^{-1}\mathrm{f}_n\to0.

converge in distribution to the Brownian sphere in the Gromov--Hausdorff topology. The preceding discussion motivates this scale from the core and tree diameters, but the paper explicitly refrains from making the claim precise and presents it as a belief.
