First, in the dense phase corresponding to $\\alpha\\in(1,3/2)$, we prove that the scaling limit of the boundary is the random stable looptree with parameter $(\\alpha-1/2)^{-1}$. Second, we show the existence of a phase transition through local limits of the boundary: in the dense phase, the boundary is tree-like, while in the dilute phase corresponding to $\\alpha\\in(3/2,2)$, it has a component homeomorphic to the half-plane. As an application, we identify the limits of loops conditioned to be large in the rigid $O(n)$ loop model on quadrangulations, proving thereby a conjecture of Curien and Kortchemski.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-06T17:37:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random planar maps", "dense phase", "critical boltzmann planar maps", "loop model", "dilute phase" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
