Asymptotic normality of pattern occurrences in random maps

The purpose of this paper is to study the limiting distribution of special { additive functionals} on random planar maps, namely the number of occurrences of a given { pattern}. The main result is a central limit theorem for these pattern counts in the case of pattern with a simple boundary. The proof relies on a combination of analytic and combinatorial methods together with a moment method due to Gao and Wormald~{GaoWormald}. It is an important issue to handle the overlap structure of two pattern which is the main difficulty in the proof.
