Abstract

We consider Bernoulli first-passage percolation on the triangular lattice in which sites have 0 and 1 passage times with probability pp and 1p1-p, respectively. For each p(0,pc)p\in(0,p_c), let B(p)\mathcal {B}(p) be the limit shape in the classical "shape theorem", and let L(p)L(p) be the correlation length. We show that as ppcp\uparrow p_c, the rescaled limit shape L(p)1B(p)L(p)^{-1}\mathcal {B}(p) converges to a Euclidean disk. This improves a result of Chayes et al. [J. Stat. Phys. 45 (1986) 933--951]. The proof relies on the scaling limit of near-critical percolation established by Garban et al. [J. Eur. Math. Soc. 20 (2018) 1195--1268], and uses the construction of the collection of continuum clusters in the scaling limit introduced by Camia et al. [Springer Proceedings in Mathematics \& Statistics, 299 (2019) 44--89].

37 pages, 9 figures. The manuscript has been fully revised by following a referee's suggestions. Two main revisions to the previous version: 1) Section 3.3 is removed and the strip results are not used anymore. 2) $\mathcal {C}(z)$ is replaced by the cluster in $\mathbb{D}_{1/2}(z)$ with the largest diameter, and Section 4.2 is updated accordingly
