General upper bounds on fluctuations of trajectory observables were recently obtained. It turned out that the size of fluctuations of dynamical observable is limited from below and from above. For the moment generating function of general…

First-passage percolation is a random growth model defined using i.i.d. edge-weights $(t_e)$ on the nearest-neighbor edges of $\mathbb{Z}^d$. An initial infection occupies the origin and spreads along the edges, taking time $t_e$ to cross…

Let $0<a<b<\infty$, and for each edge $e$ of $Z^d$ let $\omega_e=a$ or $\omega_e=b$, each with probability 1/2, independently. This induces a random metric $\dist_\omega$ on the vertices of $Z^d$, called first passage percolation. We prove…

We study the statistics of first passage times (FPTs) of trajectory observables in both classical and quantum Markov processes. We consider specifically the FPTs of counting observables, that is, the times to reach a certain threshold of a…

We consider the first-passage percolation problem on effectively one-dimensional graphs with vertex set {1,...,n}\times{0,1} and translation-invariant edge-structure. For three of six non-trivial cases we obtain exact expressions for the…

Let $\{\eta_{N, v}: v\in V_N\}$ 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…

We develop a method based on martingales to study first-passage problems of time-additive observables exiting an interval of finite width in a Markov process. In the limit that the interval width is large, we derive generic expressions for…

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 study a natural growth process with competition, modeled by two first passage percolation processes, $FPP_1$ and $FPP_\lambda$, spreading on a graph. $FPP_1$ starts at the origin and spreads at rate $1$, whereas $FPP_\lambda$ starts from…

We prove that the variance of the passage time from the origin to a point x in first-passage percolation on Z^d is sublinear in the distance to x when d \geq 2, obeying the bound Cx/(log x), under minimal assumptions on the edge-weight…

We study first passage percolation (FPP) on a Gromov-hyperbolic group $G$ with boundary $\partial G$ equipped with the Patterson-Sullivan measure $\nu$. We associate an i.i.d.\ collection of random passage times to each edge of a Cayley…

We consider directed first passage percolation on the integer lattice, with time constant $\mu$ and passage time $a_{0n}$ from the origin to $(n,0,...,0)$. It is shown that under certain conditions on the passage time distribution, $Ea_{0n}…

The $n$-dimensional binary hypercube is the graph whose vertices are the binary $n$-tuples $\{0, 1\}^n$ and where two vertices are connected by an edge if they differ at exactly one coordinate. We prove that if the edges are assigned…

We study the first passage time $\tau_u = \inf \{ n \geq 1: |V_n| > u \}$ for the multivariate perpetuity sequence $V_n = Q_1 + M_1 Q_2 + \cdots + (M_1 \ldots M_{n-1}) Q_n$, where $(M_n, Q_n)$ is a sequence of independent and identically…
