The divergence of fluctuations for the shape on first passage percolation
Abstract
Consider the first passage percolation model on for . In this model we assign independently to each edge the value zero with probability and the value one with probability . We denote by the passage time from the origin to for and It is well known that if , there exists a compact shape such that for all We denote the fluctuations of from and by &&F(B(t), tB_d)=\inf \{l:tB_d(1-{l\over t})\subset B(t)\subset tB_d(1+{l\over t})\} && F(B(t), G(t))=\inf\{l:G(t)(1-{l\over t})\subset B(t)\subset G(t)(1+{l\over t})\}. The means of the fluctuations and have been conjectured ranging from divergence to non-divergence for large by physicists. In this paper, we show that for all with a high probability, the fluctuations and diverge with a rate of at least for some constant . The proof of this argument depends on the linearity between the number of pivotal edges of all minimizing paths and the paths themselves. This linearity is also independently interesting.
