We start by deriving a local limit theorem for the asymptotics of maximal block sizes, extending the result in \\cite{BFSS}. The resulting diameter bounds for pendant submaps of random quadrangulations straightforwardly lead to Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. To extend the convergence to the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov topology, we show that exchangeable \"uniformly asymptotically negligible\" attachments of mass simply yield, in the limit, a deterministic scaling of the mass measure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-03-23T17:29:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60C05", "05C10" ], "keywords": [ "random quadrangulations", "joint convergence", "largest simple block jointly converge", "gromov-hausdorff-prokhorov topology", "local limit theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150306738A" } } }
