Abstract

We discuss the behavior of geodesics in the continuous models of random geometry known as the Brownian map and the Brownian plane. We say that a point $x$ is a geodesic star with $m$ arms if $x$ is the endpoint of $m$ disjoint geodesics. We prove that the set of all geodesic stars with $m$ arms has dimension $5-m$, for $m=1,2,3,4$. This complements recents results of Miller and Qian, who derived upper bounds for these dimensions.
