Scaling limits of bipartite planar maps are homeomorphic to the 2-sphere. (English) Zbl 1166.60006

Summary: We prove that scaling limits of random planar maps which are uniformly distributed over the set of all rooted \(2k\)-angulations are a.s. homeomorphic to the two-dimensional sphere. Our methods rely on the study of certain random geodesic laminations of the disk.
