We consider first-passage percolation with i.i.d. non-negative weights coming from some continuous distribution under a moment condition. We review recent results in the study of geodesics in first-passage percolation and study their…

This monograph resolves - in a dense class of cases - several open problems concerning geodesics in i.i.d. first-passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Our primary interest is in the empirical measures of edge-weights observed along…
We study last passage percolation in a half-quadrant, which we analyze within the framework of Pfaffian Schur processes. For the model with exponential weights, we prove that the fluctuations of the last passage time to a point on the…
We consider a last passage percolation model in dimension $1+1$ with potential given by the product of a spatial i.i.d. potential with symmetric bounded distribution and an independent i.i.d. in time sequence of signs. We assume that the…
In this note, we study the model of directed last passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^2$, with i.i.d. exponential weight. We consider the maximum paths from vertices $\left(0,\lfloor k^{2/3} \rfloor\right)$ and $(\lfloor k^{2/3} \rfloor,0)$…
In this note we investigate the last passage percolation model in the presence of macroscopic inhomogeneity. We analyze how this affects the scaling limit of the passage time, leading to a variational problem that provides an ODE for the…
For first passage percolation (FPP) on integer lattice with i.i.d. passage time distributions, in order to show existence of semi-infinite geodesics along a fixed direction, one requires unproven assumptions on the limiting shape. We…
For exponential last passage percolation on the plane we analyse the probability that the point-to-line geodesic exhibits an atypically large transversal fluctuation at the endpoint as well as the probability that the point-to-point…
In this note we provide a short proof of the distributional equality between last passage percolation with geometric weights along a general down-right path and Schur processes. We do this in both the full-space and half-space settings, and…
We develop a new probabilistic method for deriving deviation estimates in directed planar polymer and percolation models. The key estimates are for exit points of geodesics as they cross transversal down-right boundaries. These bounds are…
This note establishes a universal directed landscape limit for last passage percolation models in an intermediate scaling regime. We find as a quick consequence the transversal fluctuations for geodesics taken near the axis. We extend the…
The study of transversal fluctuations of the optimal path is a crucial aspect of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. In this work, we establish the large deviation limit for the midpoint transversal fluctuations in a general…
This article studies several properties of the half-space last passage percolation, in particular the two-time covariance. We show that, when the two end-points are at small macroscopic distance, then the first order correction to the…
Random growth models are fundamental objects in modern probability theory, have given rise to new mathematics, and have numerous applications, including tumor growth and fluid flow in porous media. In this article, we introduce some of the…
It is an open problem to show that in two-dimensional first-passage percolation, the sequence of finite geodesics from any point to $(n,0)$ has a limit in $n$. In this paper, we consider this question for first-passage percolation on a wide…
This paper gives a self-contained proof of the non-existence of nontrivial bi-infinite geodesics in directed planar last-passage percolation with exponential weights. The techniques used are couplings, coarse graining, and control of…
We generalize the asymptotic shape theorem in first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ to cover the case of general semimetrics. We prove a structure theorem for equivariant semimetrics on topological groups and an extended version of…
We consider a variant of the continuous and discrete Ulam-Hammersley problems: we study the maximal length of an increasing path through a Poisson point process (or a Bernoulli point process) with the restriction that there must be minimal…
