A Shape Theorem for Riemannian First-Passage Percolation

Probability 2010-05-12 v3 Differential Geometry

Abstract

Riemannian first-passage percolation (FPP) is a continuum model, with a distance function arising from a random Riemannian metric in Rd\R^d. Our main result is a shape theorem for this model, which says that large balls under this metric converge to a deterministic shape under rescaling. As a consequence, we show that smooth random Riemannian metrics are geodesically complete with probability one.
