| contents | This is Part II of our project on block-weighted planar maps and Liouville quantum duality. Focusing on the scaling properties at the dual critical point, we derive the conditional distribution of the root block size given the total size, as well as, conversely, the distribution of the total size for a fixed root block size. We show that these laws are in perfect agreement with the results of Liouville quantum gravity (LQG), obtained by modifying the standard Liouville random measure with additional atomic contributions representing localized quantum areas. The ratio of dual and direct partition functions with punctures is shown to be universal, its explicit LQG expression exactly matching its combinatorial analogue. We also investigate the block distance profile for doubly rooted maps, which is here rigorously related to the distance profile of maps consisting of a single block. Finally, we analyze the multifractal properties of the usual and dual Liouville measures, predicting the associated spectra, from both quantum and Euclidean perpectives. We illustrate our results through specific realizations of block-weighted planar maps, i.e., quadrangulations decomposed into simple blocks, tree-like structures formed by attaching quartic maps, and bicubic maps decomposed into 3-connected blocks. For each model, we give the single non-universal constant which uniquely determines the strength of the corresponding atomic Liouville measure. |
