Weak convergence of random p-mappings and the exploration process of   inhomogeneous continuum random trees
  We study the asymptotics of the $p$-mapping model of random mappings on $[n]$ as $n$ gets large, under a large class of asymptotic regimes for the underlying distribution $p$. We encode these random mappings in random walks which are shown to converge to a functional of the exploration process of inhomogeneous random trees, this exploration process being derived (Aldous-Miermont-Pitman 2003) from a bridge with exchangeable increments. Our setting generalizes previous results by allowing a finite number of ``attracting points'' to emerge.
