The exploration process of critical Boltzmann planar maps decorated by a triangular O(n) loop model

Abstract

In this paper we investigate pointed $(\mathbf{q}, g, n)$-Boltzmann loop-decorated maps with loops traversing only inner triangular faces. Using the peeling exploration of arXiv:1809.02012 modified to this setting we show that its law in the non-generic critical phase can be coded in terms of a random walk confined to the positive integers by a new specific boundary condition. Under a technical assumption that we believe to be true, combining this observation with explicit quantities for the peeling law we derive the large deviations property for the distribution of the so-called nesting statistic and show that the exploration process possesses exactly the same scaling limit as in the rigid loop model on bipartite maps that is a specific self-similar Markov process introduced in arXiv:1809.02012. Besides, we conclude the equivalence of the admissible weight sequences related by the so-called fixed point equation by proving the missing direction in the argument of arXiv:1202.5521.
