Radius and profile of random planar maps with faces of arbitrary degrees

Abstract
We prove some asymptotic results for the radius and the profile of large random planar maps with faces of arbitrary degrees. Using a bijection due to Bouttier, Di Francesco & Guitter between rooted planar maps and certain four-type trees with positive labels, we derive our results from a conditional limit theorem for four-type spatial Galton-Watson trees.
