Given an infinite connected graph, a way to randomly perturb its metric is to assign random i.i.d. lengths to the edges of the graph. Assume that the graph is infinite and of bounded degree. Assume also strict positivity and finite…
Consider the restriction of the directed landscape $\mathcal L(x, s; y, t)$ to a set of the form $\{x_1, \dots, x_k\} \times \{s_0\} \times \mathbb R \times \{t_0\}$. We show that on any such set, the directed landscape is given by a last…
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 the exactly solvable model of exponential last passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^2$, consider the geodesic $\Gamma_n$ joining $(0,0)$ and $(n,n)$ for large $n$. It is well known that the transversal fluctuation of $\Gamma_n$ around the…
We show that the Busemann process indexed by tilts in the super-differential of the limit shape exists and is unique in the strong sense in the i.i.d.\ planar corner growth model. This means that every probability space that supports the…
The static and dynamic properties of a Cosserat-type lattice interface of finite thickness are studied, so that both displacements and rotational degrees of freedom are taken into account. The model allows considering interfaces with a…
We address the prime geodesic theorem in arithmetic progressions, and resolve conjectures of Golovchanski\u{\i}-Smotrov (1999). In particular, we prove that the traces of closed geodesics on the modular surface do not equidistribute in the…
The study of Kadar-Parsi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class has been a subject of great interest among mathematicians and physicists over the past three decades. A notably successful approach for analyzing KPZ models is the coupling method,…
Deep generative models are tremendously successful in learning low-dimensional latent representations that well-describe the data. These representations, however, tend to much distort relationships between points, i.e. pairwise distances…
In this paper we study first-passage percolation in the configuration model with empirical degree distribution that follows a power-law with exponent $\tau \in (2,3)$. We assign independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.)\ weights to…
We introduce and study a model of directed last-passage percolation in planar layered environment. This environment is represented by an array of random exponential clocks arranged in blocks, for each block the average waiting times depend…
We consider Brownian last passage percolation evolving dynamically via a discrete resampling procedure. Using $\Gamma_{(0,0)}^{(n,n),r}$ to denote a geodesic from $(0,0)$ to $(n,n)$ at time $r$, we prove that the expected total number of…
A competition model on $\N^{2}$ between three clusters and governed by directed last passage percolation is considered. We prove that coexistence, i.e. the three clusters are simultaneously unbounded, occurs with probability $6-8\log2$.…
Our main point of focus is the set of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces. For any fixed integer $k$, we are interested in the set of all closed geodesics with at least $k$ (but possibly more) self-intersections. Among these, we…
Computing intrinsic distances on discrete surfaces is at the heart of many minimization problems in geometry processing and beyond. Solving these problems is extremely challenging as it demands the computation of on-surface distances along…
We study percolation problems of overlapping objects where the underlying geometry is such that in D-dimensions, a subset of the directions has a lattice structure, while the remaining directions have a continuum structure. The resulting…
We introduce Wasserstein-like dynamical transport distances between vector-valued densities on the real line. The mobility function from the scalar theory is replaced by a mobility matrix, that is subject to positivity and concavity…
We study geodesics on a planar Riemann surface of infinite type having a single infinite end. Of particular interest is the class of geodesics that go out the infinite end in a most efficient manner. We investigate properties of these…
The existence (or not) of infinite clusters is explored for two stochastic models of intersecting line segments in $d \ge 2$ dimensions. Salient features of the phase diagram are established in each case. The models are based on site…
We consider a dynamical random interface on the infinite lattice $\mathbb{N}$ evolving according to a "corner flip" dynamic above a hard wall, with an additional pinning at the origin. We study the stationary fluctuations under a diffusive…
