Convergence as metric measure space with loops

Theorem (Albenque-H.-Sun’19)

Mn ⇒ M in the GHP topology, where M is

  • 8/3-LQG (the Brownian disk).

Let Pn be a uniform percolation on Mn. Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov-Loop (GHPL) topology on the space of metric measure spaces with a collection of loops.

Theorem (Gwynne-H.-Sun’19)

(Mn, Pn) ⇒ (M, Γ) in the GHPL topology, where Γ is the conformal loop ensemble CLE6. Building on Gwynne-Miller’17, Bernardi-H.-Sun’18
