Maximum agreement subtrees and Hölder homeomorphisms between Brownian trees
[Plus grand sous-arbre commun et homéomorphismes höldériens entre arbres browniens]
Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques, Tome 11 (2024), pp. 395-430.

Nous montrons que la taille du plus grand sous-arbre commun entre deux arbres binaires étiquetés de taille n choisis uniformément et indépendamment est plus petite que n 1/2-ε pour un certain ε>0. La preuve repose sur le couplage entre les arbres aléatoires discrets et l’arbre brownien ainsi que sur une décomposition récursive de l’arbre brownien introduite par Aldous. En chemin, nous montrons également que presque sûrement, il n’existe pas d’homéomorphisme (1-ε)-höldérien entre deux arbres browniens indépendants.

We prove that the size of the largest common subtree between two uniform, independent, leaf-labeled random binary trees of size n is typically less than n 1/2-ε for some ε>0. Our proof relies on the coupling between discrete random trees and the Brownian tree and on a recursive decomposition of the Brownian tree due to Aldous. Along the way, we also show that almost surely, there is no (1-ε)-Hölder homeomorphism between two independent copies of the Brownian tree.
