We study Busemann functions, semi-infinite geodesics, and competition interfaces in the exactly solvable last-passage percolation with inhomogeneous exponential weights. New phenomena concerning geodesics arise due to inhomogeneity. These…

Geodesic coalescence, or the tendency of geodesics to merge together, is a hallmark phenomenon observed in a variety of planar random geometries involving a random distortion of the Euclidean metric. As a result of this, the union of…

The metric $D_\alpha (q,q')$ on the set $Q$ of particle locations of a homogeneous Poisson process on $R^d$, defined as the infimum of $(\sum_i |q_i - q_{i+1}|^\alpha)^{1/\alpha}$ over sequences in $Q$ starting with $q$ and ending with $q'$…

We continue the study of infinite geodesics in planar first-passage percolation, pioneered by Newman in the mid 1990s. Building on more recent work of Hoffman, and Damron and Hanson, we develop an ergodic theory for infinite geodesics via…

Within the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, the space-time Airy sheet is conjectured to be the canonical scaling limit for last passage percolation models. In recent work arXiv:1812.00309 of Dauvergne, Ortmann, and Vir\'ag, this…

We establish the scaling limit of the geodesics to the root for the first passage percolation distance on random planar maps. We first describe the scaling limit of the number of faces along the geodesics. This result enables us to compare…

We study geodesics in the Brochette first-passage percolation model, where edges on the same axis-parallel line share a common random passage time, inducing long-range dependence. We focus on the maximal transversal deviation H n of…

We study closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces, and give bounds for their angles of intersection and self-intersection, and for the sides of the polygons that they form, depending only on the lengths of the geodesics

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…
