We first prove that although the random recursive tree has a non-degenerate Benjamini--Schramm limit, the phase transition for the parking process appears at density $0$. We then identify the critical window for appearance of a positive flux of cars with high probability. In the case of binary car arrivals, this happens at density $ \\log (n)^{-2+o(1)}$ where $n$ is the size of the tree. This is the first work that studies the parking process on trees with possibly large degree vertices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2025-01-06T18:13:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random recursive tree", "parking process", "non-degenerate benjamini-schramm limit", "binary car arrivals", "possibly large degree vertices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
