We explore first-passage phenomenology for biased active processes with a renewal-type structure, focusing in particular on paradigmatic run-and-tumble models in both discrete and continuous state spaces. In general, we show there is no…
Let ${\varPi}_n$ be the set of convex polygonal lines $\varGamma$ with vertices on $\mathbb {Z}_+^2$ and fixed endpoints $0=(0,0)$ and $n=(n_1,n_2)$. We are concerned with the limit shape, as $n\to\infty$, of "typical" $\varGamma\in…
Consider first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with passage times given by i.i.d. random variables with common distribution $F$. Let $t_\pi(u,v)$ be the time from $u$ to $v$ for a path $\pi$ and $t(u,v)$ the minimal time among all…
The Euclidean first-passage percolation model of Howard and Newman is a rotationally invariant percolation model built on a Poisson point process. It is known that the passage time between 0 and $ne_1$ obeys a diffusive upper bound:…
We study Bernoulli first-passage percolation (FPP) on the triangular lattice $\mathbb{T}$ in which sites have 0 and 1 passage times with probability $p$ and $1-p$, respectively. Denote by $\mathcal {C}_{\infty}$ the infinite cluster with…
This paper considers the class of L\'evy processes that can be written as a Brownian motion time changed by an independent L\'evy subordinator. Examples in this class include the variance gamma model, the normal inverse Gaussian model, and…
Let $\{\eta(v): v\in V_N\}$ be a discrete Gaussian free field in a two-dimensional box $V_N$ of side length $N$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We study the Liouville first passage percolation, i.e., the shortest path metric where each…
In this paper, we obtain optimal uniform lower tail estimates for the probability distribution of the properly scaled length of the longest up/right path of the last passage site percolation model considered by Johansson in [12]. The…
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…
We investigate first-passage percolation on the lattice $\Z^d$ for dimensions $d \geq 2$. Each edge $e$ of the graph is assigned an independent copy of a non-negative random variable $\tau$. We only assume $\P[\tau=0]0$ is explicit) for the…
Let $\{\eta_i\}_{i\ge 1}$ be a sequence of dependent Bernoulli random variables. While the Poisson approximation for the distribution of $\sum_{i=1}^n\eta_i$ has been extensively studied in the literature, this paper establishes new…
Let $E$ be the set of edges of the $d$-dimensional cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, with $d\geq2$, and let $t(e),e\in E$, be nonnegative values. The passage time from a vertex $v$ to a vertex $w$ is defined as $\inf_{\pi:v\rightarrow…
We consider a last-passage directed percolation model in $Z_+^2$, with i.i.d. weights whose common distribution has a finite $(2+p)$th moment. We study the fluctuations of the passage time from the origin to the point $\big(n,n^{\lfloor a…
These notes are devoted to a summary on the mean-field limit of large ensembles of interacting particles with applications in swarming models. We first make a summary of the kinetic models derived as continuum versions of second order…
It is an open problem to show that in two-dimensional first-passage percolation, the sequence of finite geodesics from any point to $(n,0)$ has a limit in $n$. In this paper, we consider this question for first-passage percolation on a wide…
In this paper we introduce a general framework for the study of limits of relational structures in general and graphs in particular, which is based on a combination of model theory and (functional) analysis. We show how the various…
We show that classical integrable models of last passage percolation and the related nonintersecting random walks converge uniformly on compact sets to the Airy line ensemble. Our core approach is to show convergence of nonintersecting…
Tree models for rigidity percolation are introduced and solved. A probability vector describes the propagation of rigidity outward from a rigid border. All components of this ``vector order parameter'' are singular at the same rigidity…
We study the problem of coexistence in a two-type competition model governed by first-passage percolation on $\Zd$ or on the infinite cluster in Bernoulli percolation. Actually, we prove for a large class of ergodic stationary passage times…
