Abstract:

We study random hyperbolic planar graphs by using their circle packing embedding to connect their geometry to that of the hyperbolic plane. This leads to several results: Identification of the Poisson and geometric boundaries, a connection between hyperbolicity and a form of non-amenability, and a new proof of the Benjamini-Schramm recurrence result. Based on works with subsets of Omer Angel, Martin Barlow, Ori Gurel-Gurevich, Tom Hutchcroft and Gourab Ray.
