Suppose $\{X_{t}:t\ge 0\}$ is a supercritical superprocess on a Luzin space $E$, with a non-local branching mechanism and probabilities $\mathbb{P}_{\delta_{x}}$, when initiated from a unit mass at $x\in E$. By ``supercritical", we mean…

We consider first passage percolation (FPP) on T_d x Z, where T_d is the d-regular tree (d>=3). It is shown that for a fixed vertex v in the tree, the fluctuation of the distance in the FPP metric between the points (v,0) and (v,n) is of…
In first-passage percolation (FPP), one assigns i.i.d.~weights to the edges of the cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and analyzes the induced weighted graph metric. If $T(x,y)$ is the distance between vertices $x$ and $y$, then a primary…
