Atypical Decay Rates for Atypical Heights in Random Recursive Trees

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We establish the large deviation probabilities for the height of random recursive trees, revealing polynomial upper-tail decay and stretched-exponential lower-tail decay. Remarkably, the lower tail features an atypical prefactor that grows to infinity more slowly than any $n$-fold iterated logarithm.
