    Dihedral symmetries of multiple logarithms

    Full text link
    This paper finds relationships between multiple logarithms with a dihedral group action on the arguments. I generalize the combinatorics developed in Gangl, Goncharov and Levin's R-deco polygon representation of multiple logarithms to find these relations. By writing multiple logarithms as iterated integrals, my arguments are valid for iterated integrals as over an arbitrary field

    Random non-crossing plane configurations: A conditioned Galton-Watson tree approach

    Full text link
    We study various models of random non-crossing configurations consisting of diagonals of convex polygons, and focus in particular on uniform dissections and non-crossing trees. For both these models, we prove convergence in distribution towards Aldous' Brownian triangulation of the disk. In the case of dissections, we also refine the study of the maximal vertex degree and validate a conjecture of Bernasconi, Panagiotou and Steger. Our main tool is the use of an underlying Galton-Watson tree structure.Comment: 24 pages, 9 figure

    The Brownian continuum random tree as the unique solution to a fixed point equation

    Full text link
    In this note, we provide a new characterization of Aldous' Brownian continuum random tree as the unique fixed point of a certain natural operation on continuum trees (which gives rise to a recursive distributional equation). We also show that this fixed point is attractive.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure
