Random geometry and random permutations have been extremely active fields of research for several years. The former is characterized by the study of large planar maps and their continuum limits, i.e. the Brownian map, Liouville quantum gravity surfaces and Schramm–Loewner evolutions. The latter is characterized by the study of large uniform permutations and (more recently) …

In 1912 Henri Poincaré asked the following question: “In how many different ways a simple loop in the plane, called meander, can cross a line a specified number of times?” Despite many efforts, this question remains open after more than a century. In this talk we construct and study the conjectural scaling limit of uniform …

We study a class of random permutons which can be constructed from a pair of space-filling Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) curves on a Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface. This class includes the skew Brownian permutons introduced by Borga (2021), which describe the scaling limit of various types of random pattern-avoiding permutations. Another interesting permuton in our …
We derive a large deviation principle for random permutations induced by probability measures of the unit square, called permutons. These permutations are called μ-random permutations. We also introduce and study a new general class of models of random permutations, called Gibbs permutation models, which combines and generalizes μ-random permutations and the celebrated Mallows model for …
The Baxter permuton is a random probability measure on the unit square which describes the scaling limit of uniform Baxter permutations. We find an explict formula for the expectation of the Baxter permuton, i.e. the density of its intensity measure. This answers a question of Dokos and Pak (2014). We also prove that all pattern …

Consider a large random permutation satisfying some constraints or biased according to some statistics. What does it look like? In this seminar we make sense of this question introducing the notion of permuton. Permuton convergence has been established for several models of random permutations in various works: we give an overview of some of these …
