We consider the standard model of i.i.d. first passage percolation on Z^d given a distribution G on [0, +$\infty$] (including +$\infty$). We suppose that G({0}) > 1 -- p\_c(d), i.e., the edges of positive passage time are in the subcritical…
It is not known (and even physicists disagree) whether first passage percolation (FPP) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ has an upper critical dimension $d_c$, such that the fluctuation exponent $\chi=0$ in dimensions $d>d_c$. In part to facilitate study…
We study the two-time distribution in directed last passage percolation with geometric weights in the first quadrant. We compute the scaling limit and show that it is given by a contour integral of a Fredholm determinant.
We present a survey of techniques to obtain upper bounds for the variance of the passage time in first-passage percolation. The methods discussed are a combination of tools from the theory of concentration of measure, some of which we…
The Poisson clumping heuristic has lead Aldous to conjecture the value of the first passage percolation on the hypercube in the limit of large dimensions. Aldous' conjecture has been rigorously confirmed by Fill and Pemantle [Annals of…
We study the rate of convergence in the Shape Theorem of first-passage percolation, obtaining the precise asymptotic rate of decay for the probability of linear order deviations under a moment condition. Our results are stated for a given…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate several analytical methods of solving first passage (FP) problem for the Rouse model, a simplest model of a polymer chain. We show that this problem has to be treated as a multi-dimensional…
We consider first-passage percolation on the class of "high-dimensional" graphs that can be written as an iterated Cartesian product $G\square G \square \dots \square G$ of some base graph $G$ as the number of factors tends to infinity. We…

In this paper, we show that the first passage time in the frog model on $\Z^d$ with $d\geq 2$ has a sublinear variance. This implies that the central limit theorem does not holds at least with the standard diffusive scaling. The proof is…
We consider the early time regime of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in $1+1$ dimensions in curved (or droplet) geometry. We show that for short time $t$, the probability distribution $P(H,t)$ of the height $H$ at a given point $x$…
We introduce a two-type first passage percolation competition model on infinite connected graphs as follows. Type 1 spreads through the edges of the graph at rate 1 from a single distinguished site, while all other sites are initially…
We consider a model of long-range first-passage percolation on the $d$ dimensional square lattice $Z^d$ in which any two distinct vertices $x, y \in Z^d$ are connected by an edge having exponentially distributed passage time with mean…
We consider standard first-passage percolation on $\Z^d$. Let $e_1$ be the first coordinate vector. Let $a(n)$ be the expected passage time from the origin to $ne_1$. In this short paper, we note that $a(n)$ is increasing under some strong…
We consider first passage percolation on sparse random graphs with prescribed degree distributions and general independent and identically distributed edge weights assumed to have a density. Assuming that the degree distribution satisfies a…
