Abstract

Let Tn be a 3‐connected n‐vertex planar triangulation chosen uniformly at random. Then the number of vertices in the largest 4‐connected component of Tn is asymptotic to n/2 with probability tending to 1 as n → ∞. It follows that almost all 3‐connected triangulations with n vertices have a cycle of length at least n/2 + o(n).
