There are various models of first passage percolation (FPP) in $\mathbb R^d$. We want to start a very general study of this topic. To this end we generalize the first passage percolation model on the lattice $\mathbb Z^d$ to $\mathbb R^d$…

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 prove non-universality results for first-passage percolation on the configuration model with i.i.d. degrees having infinite variance. We focus on the weight of the optimal path between two uniform vertices. Depending on the properties of…

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…

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 explore first passage percolation (FPP) on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G_n(p_n)$, where each edge is given an independent exponential edge weight with rate 1. In the sparse regime, i.e., when $np_n\to \lambda>1,$ we…

The study of first passage percolation (FPP) for the random interlacements model has been initiated in arXiv:2112.12096, where it is shown that on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 3$, the FPP distance is comparable to the graph distance with high…

For first passage percolation (FPP) on Euclidean lattices $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\ge 2$, it is expected that the variance of the first passage time between two points grows sublinearly in the distance with a universal exponent strictly…
