In a landmark paper, Scott Sheffield introduced a famous bijection, called the « hamburger-cheeseburger » bijection, to encode a certain model of random planar maps as a certain queue model in a kitchen selling hamburgers and cheeseburgers. Under this correspondence, natural geometric observables have a nice « burger » interpretation, for which Sheffield established scaling limit results. These scaling limits exhibit a phase transition in a special regime where the maps are believed to be « critical ». The goal of this talk is to present the analogue of these scaling limit results in the critical case, which can be thought of as the first convergence result of planar maps in the universality class of critical Liouville quantum gravity, in the so-called peanosphere sense. The talk is based on joint work with Xingjian Hu, Ellen Powell and Mo Dick Wong.

Many phenomena of interest in various applicative fields (epidemiology, neuroscience,…) can be idealized as interacting particle systems on random graphs. Various approaches have been proposed in recent years to develop tractable approximations of these dynamics that take the graph geometry and particle correlations into account. One of them, introduced by Lacker, Ramanan and Wu, focuses on dynamics on sparse graphs and their local limits. Analogously to mean-field models on complete and dense graphs, it is possible to establish so-called local-field equations on random trees that provide an autonomous description of the neighborhood of the root. In this talk, we will give a general overview of the local-field approach, as well as a recent result of quantitative propagation of chaos in this framework.
