The number of ends in the uniform spanning tree for recurrent unimodular random graphs

Abstract: We prove that if a unimodular random rooted graph is recurrent, the number of ends of its uniform spanning tree is almost surely equal to the number of ends of the graph. Together with previous results in the transient case, this completely resolves the problem of the number of ends of wired uniform spanning forest components in unimodular random rooted graphs and confirms a conjecture of Aldous and Lyons (2006).
