We study the statistical properties of geodesics, i.e. paths of minimal length, in large random planar quadrangulations. We extend Schaeffers well-labeled tree bijection to the case of quadrangulations with a marked geodesic, leading to the notion of spine trees, amenable to a direct enumeration. We obtain the generating functions for quadrangulations with a marked geodesic of fixed length, as well as with a set of confluent geodesics, i.e. a collection of non-intersecting minimal paths connecting two given points. In the limit of quadrangulations with a large area n, we find in particular an average number 3*2^i of geodesics between two fixed points at distance i>>1 from each other. We show that, for generic endpoints, two confluent geodesics remain close to each other and have an extensive number of contacts. This property fails for a few exceptional endpoints which can be linked by truly distinct geodesics. Results are presented both in the case of finite length i and in the scaling limit i ~ n^(1/4). In particular, we give the scaling distribution of the exceptional points.
We present a detailed calculation of the distance-dependent two-point function for quadrangulations with no multiple edges. Various discrete observables measuring this two-point function are computed and analyzed in the limit of large maps. For large
We consider planar quadrangulations with three marked vertices and discuss the geometry of triangles made of three geodesic paths joining them. We also study the geometry of minimal separating loops, i.e. paths of minimal length among all closed path
We consider quadrangulations with a boundary and derive explicit expressions for the generating functions of these maps with either a marked vertex at a prescribed distance from the boundary, or two boundary vertices at a prescribed mutual distance i
We compute the generating function of random planar quadrangulations with three marked vertices at prescribed pairwise distances. In the scaling limit of large quadrangulations, this discrete three-point function converges to a simple universal scali
The first law of thermodynamics states that the average total energy current between different reservoirs vanishes at large times. In this note we examine this fact at the level of the full statistics of two times measurement protocols also known as
