We consider the model of i.i.d. first passage percolation on Z^d, where we associate with the edges of the graph a family of i.i.d. random variables with common distribution G on [0, +$\infty$] (including +$\infty$). Whereas the time…

Discrete Liouville first passage percolation (LFPP) with parameter $\xi > 0$ is the random metric on a sub-graph of $\mathbb Z^2$ obtained by assigning each vertex $z$ a weight of $e^{\xi h(z)}$, where $h$ is the discrete Gaussian free…

In this paper, we study some properties of optimal paths in the first passage percolation on $\Z^d$ and show the followings: (1) the number of optimal paths has an exponential growth if the distribution has an atom; (2) the means of…

We consider first-passage percolation with positive, stationary-ergodic weights on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Let $T(x)$ be the first-passage time from the origin to a point $x$ in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. The convergence of the scaled…

Sums of independent, bounded random variables concentrate around their expectation approximately as well a Gaussian of the same variance. Well known results of this form include the Bernstein, Hoeffding, and Chernoff inequalities and many…

We study first-passage percolation (FPP) on the square lattice. The model is defined using i.i.d. nonnegative random edge-weights $(t_e)$ associated to the nearest neighbor edges of $\mathbb{Z}^2$. The passage time between vertices $x$ and…

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…

We prove that first-passage percolation times across thin cylinders of the form $[0,n]\times [-h_n,h_n]^{d-1}$ obey Gaussian central limit theorems as long as $h_n$ grows slower than $n^{1/(d+1)}$. It is an open question as to what is the…
