Abstract

Liouville first passage percolation (LFPP) with parameter ξ>0\xi > 0 is the family of random distance functions (metrics) (Dhϵ)ϵ>0(D_h^{\epsilon})_{\epsilon > 0} on C\mathbb{C} obtained heuristically by integrating eξhe^{\xi h} along paths, where hh is a variant of the Gaussian free field. There is a critical value ξcrit0.41\xi_{\text{crit}} \approx 0.41 such that for ξ(0,ξcrit)\xi \in (0, \xi_{\text{crit}}), appropriately rescaled LFPP converges in probability uniformly on compact subsets of C\mathbb{C} to a limiting metric DhD_h on γ\gamma-Liouville quantum gravity with γ=γ(ξ)(0,2)\gamma = \gamma(\xi) \in (0,2). We show that the convergence is almost sure, giving an affirmative answer to a question posed by Gwynne and Miller (2019).
