Abstract
Exploiting a bijective correspondence between planar quadrangulations and well-labeled trees, we define an ensemble of infinite surfaces as a limit of uniformly distributed ensembles of quadrangulations of fixed finite volume. The limit random surface can be described in terms of a birth and death process and a sequence of multitype Galton–Watson trees. As a consequence, we find that the expected volume of the ball of radius r around a marked point in the limit random surface is Θ(r4).
