Jean-François Le Gall (Universite Paris-Saclay) -- Compact and non-compact models of random geometry

We discuss various models of random geometry that arise as scaling limits of large planar graphs embedded in the 2-sphere (also called planar maps). The most popular compact models are the Brownian sphere or Brownian map, and the Brownian disk, which is the scaling limit of
