“…We naturally distinguish the point o e = p e (0), where p e is the canonical projection, and will usually write T e instead of (T e , d e , o e ). This random metric space (or more precisely its isometry class) appears as the universal scaling limit of many tree-like random objects that naturally appear in combinatorics and probability, see for instance [20] for a survey, and [11,12,19,24,25,26,28,30] for some recent developments on the topic. Here we show that the CRT also appears naturally in this more geometric context.…”
