Abstract

We study the branching tree of the perimeters of the nested loops in the non-generic critical model on random quadrangulations. We prove that after renormalization it converges towards an explicit continuous multiplicative cascade whose offspring distribution is related to the jumps of a spectrally positive -stable Lévy process with and for which we have the surprisingly simple and explicit transform

An important ingredient in the proof is a new formula of independent interest on first moments of additive functionals of the jumps of a left-continuous random walk stopped at a hitting time. We also identify the scaling limit of the volume of the critical -decorated quadrangulation using the Malthusian martingale associated to the continuous multiplicative cascade.
