The scaling limit conjecture for random planar maps to Liouville quantum gravity
The scaling limit conjecture for random planar maps to Liouville quantum gravity
Let be a random planar map with edges whose law is given, for each fixed map with edges, by
where is the graph Laplacian and is a normalizing constant. The parameter is the central charge of the conformal matter, and is the corresponding LQG parameter determined by the relation in the source. Scaling limit conjecture. For , the planar maps converge in the scaling limit to a -LQG surface. This conjecture expresses the prediction that random planar maps coupled to conformal matter have Liouville quantum gravity as their continuum scaling limit; it is known for a number of natural models, including several maps decorated by statistical physics models, but the general statement remains open.
