Liouville first passage percolation (LFPP) with parameter $\xi >0$ is the family of random distance functions $\{D_h^\epsilon\}_{\epsilon >0}$ on the plane obtained by integrating $e^{\xi h_\epsilon}$ along paths, where $h_\epsilon$ for…
For $\gamma \in (0,2)$, we define a weak $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric to be a function $h\mapsto D_h$ which takes in an instance of the planar Gaussian free field (GFF) and outputs a metric on the plane satisfying a…
We study first-passage percolation through related optimization problems over paths of restricted length. The path length variable is in duality with a shift of the weights. This puts into a convex duality framework old observations about…
The metric associated with the Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface has been constructed through a series of recent works and several properties of its associated geodesics have been studied. In the current article we confirm the…
In first-passage percolation, we place i.i.d. continuous weights at the edges of Z^2 and consider the weighted graph metric. A distance-minimizing path between points x and y is called a geodesic, and a bigeodesic is a doubly-infinite path…
We consider geodesics for first passage percolation (FPP) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with iid passage times. As has been common in the literature, we assume that the FPP system satisfies certain basic properties conjectured to be true, and derive…
We consider first passage percolation (FPP) where the vertex weight is given by the exponential of two-dimensional log-correlated Gaussian fields. Our work is motivated by understanding the discrete analog for the random metric associated…
We consider first-passage percolation on the $d$ dimensional cubic lattice for $d \geq 2$; that is, we assign independently to each edge $e$ a nonnegative random weight $t_e$ with a common distribution and consider the induced random graph…
In the models of first-passage percolation and directed first-passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, we consider a family of i.i.d. random variables indexed by the set of edges of the graph, called passage times. For every vertex $x \in…
We study the random geometry of first passage percolation on the complete graph equipped with independent and identically distributed edge weights, continuing the program initiated by Bhamidi and van der Hofstad [9]. We describe our results…
In first-passage percolation, we assign i.i.d.~nonnegative weights $(t_e)$ to the nearest-neighbor edges of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and study the induced pseudometric $T = T(x,y)$. In this paper, we focus on geodesics, or optimal paths for $T$, and…
In this paper we continue our earlier work about topological first passage percolation and answer certain questions asked in our previous paper. Notably, we prove that apart from trivialities, in the generic configuration there exists…
Liouville first passage percolation (LFPP) with parameter $\xi > 0$ is the family of random distance functions (metrics) $(D_h^{\epsilon})_{\epsilon > 0}$ on $\mathbb{C}$ obtained heuristically by integrating $e^{\xi h}$ along paths, where…
First-passage percolation is a random growth model which has a metric structure. An infinite geodesic is an infinite sequence whose all sub-sequences are shortest paths. One of the important quantity is the number of infinite geodesics…
Lower bound on the equivariant Hilbertian compression exponent $\alpha$ are obtained using random walks. More precisely, if the probability of return of the simple random walk is $\succeq \textrm{exp}(-n^\gamma)$ in a Cayley graph then…
We study first-passage percolation on $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\ge 2$, with independent weights whose common distribution is compactly supported in $(0,\infty)$ with a uniformly-positive density. Given $\epsilon>0$ and $v\in\mathbb Z^d$, which…
We consider a wide class of ergodic first passage percolation processes on Z^2 and prove that there exist at least four one-sided geodesics a.s. We also show that coexistence is possible with positive probability in a four color…
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…
A well-known question in planar first-passage percolation concerns the convergence of the empirical distribution of weights as seen along geodesics. We demonstrate this convergence for an explicit model, directed last-passage percolation on…
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…
