The number of spanning clusters of the uniform spanning tree in three dimensions

The diameter of the uniform spanning tree of dense graphs

We show that the diameter of a uniformly drawn spanning tree of a simple connected graph on $n$ vertices with minimal degree linear in $n$ is typically of order $\sqrt{n}$. A byproduct of our proof, which is of independent interest, is that on such graphs the Cheeger constant and the spectral gap are comparable.

The diameter of uniform spanning trees in high dimensions

We show that the diameter of a uniformly drawn spanning tree of a connected graph on $n$ vertices which satisfies certain high-dimensionality conditions typically grows like $Θ(\sqrt{n})$. In particular this result applies to expanders, finite tori $\mathbb{Z}_m^d$ of dimension $d \geq 5$, the hypercube $\{0,1\}^m$, and small perturbations thereof.

Uniform random spanning trees

There are several good reasons you might want to read about uniform spanning trees, one being that spanning trees are useful combinatorial objects. Not only are they fundamental in algebraic graph theory and combinatorial geometry, but they predate both of these subjects, having been used by Kirchoff in the study of resistor networks. This article addresses the question about spanning trees most natural to anyone in probability theory, namely what does a typical spanning tree look like?

One-ended spanning trees in amenable unimodular graphs

We prove that every amenable one-ended Cayley graph has an invariant spanning tree of one end. More generally, for any 1-ended amenable unimodular random graph we construct a factor of iid percolation (jointly unimodular subgraph) that is almost surely a spanning tree of one end. In [2] and [1] similar claims were proved, but the resulting spanning tree had 1 or 2 ends, and one had no control of which of these two options would be the case.

Choosing a Spanning Tree for the Integer Lattice Uniformly

Consider the nearest neighbor graph for the integer lattice Z^d in d dimensions. For a large finite piece of it, consider choosing a spanning tree for that piece uniformly among all possible subgraphs that are spanning trees. As the piece gets larger, this approaches a limiting measure on the set of spanning graphs for Z^d. This is shown to be a tree if and only if d=<4. In this case, the tree has only one topological end, i.e. there are no doubly infinite paths. When d>=5 the spanning forest has infinitely many components almost surely, with each component having one or two topological ends.

The local limit of uniform spanning trees

We show that the local limit of the uniform spanning tree on any finite, simple, connected, regular graph sequence with degree tending to infinity is the Poisson(1) branching process conditioned to survive forever. An extension to "almost" regular graphs and a quenched version are also given.

Spectral dimension and random walks on the two dimensional uniform spanning tree

We study simple random walk on the uniform spanning tree on Z^2 . We obtain estimates for the transition probabilities of the random walk, the distance of the walk from its starting point after n steps, and exit times of both Euclidean balls and balls in the intrinsic graph metric. In particular, we prove that the spectral dimension of the uniform spanning tree on Z^2 is 16/13 almost surely.

Uniform spanning trees on Sierpinski graphs

We study spanning trees on Sierpinski graphs (i.e., finite approximations to the Sierpinski gasket) that are chosen uniformly at random. We construct a joint probability space for uniform spanning trees on every finite Sierpinski graph and show that this construction gives rise to a multi-type Galton-Watson tree. We derive a number of structural results, for instance on the degree distribution. The connection between uniform spanning trees and loop-erased random walk is then exploited to prove convergence of the latter to a continuous stochastic process. Some geometric properties of this limit…

The GHP scaling limit of uniform spanning trees of dense graphs

We consider dense graph sequences that converge to a connected graphon and prove that the GHP scaling limit of their uniform spanning trees is Aldous' Brownian CRT. Furthermore, we are able to extract the precise scaling constant from the limiting graphon. As an example, we can apply this to the scaling limit of the uniform spanning trees of the Erdös-Rényi sequence $(G(n,p))_{n \geq 1}$ for any fixed $p \in (0,1]$, and sequences of dense expanders. A consequence of GHP convergence is that several associated quantities of the spanning trees also converge, such as the height, diameter and law o…

Volume and heat kernel fluctuations for the three-dimensional uniform spanning tree

Let $\mathcal{U}$ be the uniform spanning tree on $\mathbb{Z}^{3}$. We show the occurrence of log-logarithmic fluctuations around the leading order for the volume of intrinsic balls in $\mathcal{U}$. As an application, we obtain similar fluctuations for the quenched heat kernel of the simple random walk on $\mathcal{U}$.

Spanning tree size in Random Binary Search Trees

This paper deals with the size of the spanning tree of p randomly chosen nodes in a binary search tree. It is shown via generating functions methods, that for fixed p, the (normalized) spanning tree size converges in law to the Normal distribution. The special case p=2 reproves the recent result (obtained by the contraction method by Mahmoud and Neininger [Ann. Appl. Probab. 13 (2003) 253-276]), that the distribution of distances in random binary search trees has a Gaussian limit law. In the proof we use the fact that the spanning tree size is closely related to the number of passes in Multipl…

The number of ends in the uniform spanning tree for recurrent unimodular random graphs

We prove that if a unimodular random rooted graph is recurrent, the number of ends of its uniform spanning tree is almost surely equal to the number of ends of the graph. Together with previous results in the transient case, this completely resolves the problem of the number of ends of wired uniform spanning forest components in unimodular random rooted graphs and confirms a conjecture of Aldous and Lyons (2006).

Active spanning trees with bending energy on planar maps and SLE-decorated Liouville quantum gravity for $κ> 8$

We introduce a two-parameter family of probability measures on spanning trees of a planar map. One of the parameters controls the activity of the spanning tree and the other is a measure of its bending energy. When the bending parameter is 1, we recover the active spanning tree model, which is closely related to the critical Fortuin--Kasteleyn model. A random planar map decorated by a spanning tree sampled from our model can be encoded by means of a generalized version of Sheffield's hamburger-cheeseburger bijection. Using this encoding, we prove that for a range of parameter values (including…
