Limit laws of random simplex tree-child networks

We prove that the longer and shorter Sackin indices of a uniformly random simplex tree-child network with $n$ taxa admit joint distributional limits after rescaling by $n^{-7/4}$. The limiting distributions are described by functionals of a Brownian excursion. We also identify the limiting law of the height after resca...
