Abstract
We prove the finite-volume continuum-random-tree prediction for critical Fortuin–Kasteleyn planar maps at every fixed q > 4. After rescaling graph distances by a constant times n−1/2, an n-edge map with normalized degree measure converges to the Brownian continuum random tree in the Gromov–Hausdorff–Prokhorov topology. The convergence holds through all positive integer sizes.

Formalization
- OpenAI, The geometric phase diagram, diffusion, and spectra of random planar maps: Lean scope (lean/docs/211.md, OpenAI Math Release, 6 October 2026). Describes a Lean formalization of this paper's finite-volume Gromov–Hausdorff–Prokhorov CRT limit for each fixed $q>4$, with normalized degree measure and all positive integer sizes; it does not cover the other six papers of the family.

States the finite-volume prediction as Conjecture 1.2 and proves an infinite-volume local Gromov–Hausdorff–Prokhorov CRT limit, giving context for this manuscript's compact finite-volume claim.

- William Fleurat and Zéphyr Salvy, A phase transition in block-weighted random maps (arXiv:2302.01723, 2023/2024). For maps weighted per 2-connected block, proves a Brownian-tree limit at distance scale n^{1/2} above the threshold u=9/5, a block-decomposition route to CRT limits comparable to the paper's block-tree argument; not in the paper's bibliography.

Family 211: The geometric phase diagram, diffusion, and spectra of random planar maps
Critical Fortuin–Kasteleyn planar maps converge to Liouville quantum gravity spheres for $0\lt q\le4$ and to the Brownian continuum random tree for q > 4, establishing the surface-to-tree geometric transition. For FK–Ising and spanning-tree-weighted maps, stationary random walks converge to Liouville Brownian motion on the limiting sphere. The FK–Ising spectral result also gives convergence of eigenvalues and heat traces, using the stated Brownian/LQG inputs.
