Titill: Random planar maps
Ágrip: We will survey the (mathematical) theory of random planar maps. Born in the
early 2000s and motivated by theoritical physics, combinatorics and
geometry, this field has been growing considerably. The main goal is to
understand the large scale geometrical structure of random planar graphs
(or maps) as their sizes go to infinity. Last year, Le Gall and Miermont
showed that a random continuous surface arises at the limit: The
Brownian map.
