We consider the Erdős–Rényi random graphG(n,p) inside the critical window, that is whenp= 1/n+ λn−4/3, for some fixed. We prove that the sequence of connected components ofG(n,p), considered as metric spaces using the graph distance rescaled byn−1/3, converges towards a sequence of continuous compact metric spaces. The result relies on a bijection between graphs and certain marked random walks, and the theory of continuum random trees. Our result gives access to the answers to a great many questions about distances in critical random graphs. In particular, we deduce that the diameter ofG(n,p) rescaled byn−1/3converges in distribution to an absolutely continuous random variable with finite mean.
