Résumé
Abstract

Dans ce travail, nous étudions les limites d’échelle d’arbres à boucles associés à des arbres de Bienaymé–Galton–Watson (BGW). Dans un premier temps, nous considérons des arbres BGW dont la loi de reproduction est critique et dans le bassin d’attraction d’une loi gaussienne. Nous montrons que l’arbre continu brownien est la limite d’échelle des arbres à boucles associés, ce qui confirme une prédiction de [18]. Dans un second temps, nous considérons des arbres BGW dont la loi de reproduction est sous-critique et à queue lourde. Nous prouvons que la limite d’échelle des arbres à boucles associés est un multiple du cercle unité. Ceci correspond à un phénomène dit de condensation dans l’arbre sous-jacent, qui présente un sommet de degré macroscopique. Notre approche est fondée sur l’étude de marches aléatoires ayant une dérive négative. Enfin, nous appliquons ces résultats à l’étude de la géométrie de grandes faces de cartes de Boltzmann. Nous complétons les résultats de [50] en établissant l’existence d’une transition de phase pour la topologie de ces cartes dans le régime non générique critique.

We study the scaling limits of looptrees associated with Bienaymé–Galton–Watson (BGW) trees, that are obtained by replacing every vertex of the tree by a “cycle” whose size is its degree. First, we consider BGW trees whose offspring distribution is critical and in the domain of attraction of a Gaussian distribution. We prove that the Brownian CRT is the scaling limit of the associated looptrees, thereby confirming a prediction of [18]. Then, we deal with BGW trees whose offspring distribution is critical and heavy-tailed. We show that the scaling limit of the associated looptrees is a multiple of the unit circle. This corresponds to a so-called condensation phenomenon, meaning that the underlying tree exhibits a vertex with macroscopic degree. Here, we rely on an invariance principle for random walks with negative drift, which is of independent interest. Finally, we apply these results to the study of the scaling limits of large faces of Boltzmann planar maps. We complete the results of [50] and establish a phase transition for the topology of these maps in the non-generic critical regime.
