We investigate the formation of an infinite cluster of entangled threads in a (2+1)-dimensional system. We demonstrate that topological percolation belongs to the universality class of the standard 2D bond percolation. We compute the…
We study the multipoint distribution of stationary half-space last passage percolation with exponentially weighted times. We derive both finite-size and asymptotic results for this distribution. In the latter case we observe a new…
Working in the setting of i.i.d. last-passage percolation on $\mathbb{R}^D$ with no assumptions on the underlying edge\hyp{}weight distribution, we arrive at the notion of grid entropy - a Subadditive Ergodic Theorem limit of the entropies…
We consider the limiting fluctuations of the geodesic in the directed landscape, conditioning on its length going to infinity. It was shown in \cite{Liu22b,Ganguly-Hegde-Zhang23} that when the directed landscape $\mathcal{L}(0,0;0,1) = L$…
We consider a directed random walk on the backbone of the infinite cluster generated by supercritical oriented percolation, or equivalently the space-time embedding of the ``ancestral lineage'' of an individual in the stationary…
Hammersley's Last-Passage Percolation (LPP), also known as Ulam's problem, is a well-studied model that can be described as follows: consider $m$ points chosen uniformly and independently in $[0,1]^2$, then what is the maximal number…
These lectures provide an introduction to the directed percolation and directed animals problems, from a physicist's point of view. The probabilistic cellular automaton formulation of directed percolation is introduced. The planar duality…
To each edge (i,j), i<j of the complete directed graph on the integers we assign unit weight with probability p or weight x with probability 1-p, independently from edge to edge, and give to each path weight equal to the sum of its edge…
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…
We study a random perturbation of the Euclidean plane, and show that it is unlikely that the distance-minimizing path between the two points can be extended into an infinite distance-minimizing path. More precisely, we study a large class…
We introduce and investigate a simple model to describe recent experiments by Douady and Daerr on flowing sand. The model reproduces experimentally observed compact avalanches, whose opening angle decreases linearly as a threshold is…
The evolution of many kinetic processes in 1+1 (space-time) dimensions results in 2d directed percolative landscapes. The active phases of these models possess numerous hidden geometric orders characterized by various types of large-scale…
We prove that the stationary measures for the free-energy increment process for the geometric last passage percolation (LPP) and log-gamma polymer model on a diagonal strip is given by a marginal of a two-layer Gibbs measure with a simple…
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…
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…
For stationary first passage percolation in two dimensions, the existence and uniqueness of semi-infinite geodesics directed in particular directions or sectors has been considered by Damron and Hanson (Commun. Math. Phys., 2014), Ahlberg…
We present new combinatorial and probabilistic identities relating three random processes: the oriented swap process on $n$ particles, the corner growth process, and the last passage percolation model. We prove one of the probabilistic…
We use SLE(6) paths to construct a process of continuum nonsimple loops in the plane and prove that this process coincides with the full continuum scaling limit of 2D critical site percolation on the triangular lattice -- that is, the…
Previously, Sarkar and Sun have shown that for supercritical oriented percolation in dimension $1+1$, the set of rightmost infinite open paths converges to the Brownian web after proper centering and scaling. In this note, we show that a…
We consider the half-space geometric Last Passage Percolation model starting with stationary measures. We obtain exact formulas for LPP value along the diagonal $(N,N)$ across the entire phase diagram. We also obtain the limits of these…
