Yt Xt We construct a coalescent process Z (Z(j)(i))1≤j≤i≤n driven by (X, Y). The branching structure of the trajectories is that of T(m∗), but edges are visited in the order given by T(m). Comparing the orders given by visit times and by the contour exploration allows to recover the permutation.

Theorem (Kenyon, Miller,Sheffield,Wilson) Let (Xn, Yn) be the coding walk of a uniform bipolar orientation of size n. Then
1 √ 2n (Xn(n·), Yn(n·)) converges to a pair of Brownian excursions with
cross-correlation −1/2. This is peanosphere convergence of bipolar-oriented maps to SLE-decorated LQG.
