We consider the Gaussian beta-ensemble when $\beta$ scales with $n$ the number of particles such that $\displaystyle{{n}^{-1}\ll \beta\ll 1}$. Under a certain regime for $\beta$, we show that the largest particle satisfies a large…

We consider the standard model of first-passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ ($d\geq 2$), with i.i.d. passage times associated with either the edges or the vertices of the graph. We focus on the particular case where the distribution of…

We celebrate the 50th anniversary of one the most classical models in probability theory. In this survey, we describe the main results of first passage percolation, paying special attention to the recent burst of advances of the past 5…

We identify the upper large deviation probability for the number of edges in scale-free geometric random graph models as the space volume goes to infinity. Our result covers the models of scale-free percolation, the Boolean model with…

In this paper we consider first passage percolation on the square lattice \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) with edge passage times that are independent and have uniformly bounded second moment, but not necessarily identically distributed. For integer \(n…

The Euclidean first-passage percolation (FPP) model of Howard and Newman is a rotationally invariant model of FPP which is built on a graph whose vertices are the points of homogeneous Poisson point process. It was shown that one has…

We consider first-passage percolation on the two-dimensional triangular lattice $\mathcal{T}$. Each site $v\in\mathcal{T}$ is assigned independently a passage time of either $0$ or $1$ with probability $1/2$. Denote by $B^+(0,n)$ the upper…

We study a class of deterministic flows in ${\mathbb R}^{d\times k}$, parametrized by a random matrix ${\boldsymbol X}\in {\mathbb R}^{n\times d}$ with i.i.d. centered subgaussian entries. We characterize the asymptotic behavior of these…

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 consider the Bernoulli first-passage percolation on $\mathbb Z^d (d\ge 2)$. That is, the edge passage time is taken independently to be 1 with probability $1-p$ and 0 otherwise. Let ${\mu(p)}$ be the time constant. We prove in this paper…

We consider the branching random walk $\{\mathcal R^N_z: z\in V_N\}$ with Gaussian increments indexed over a two-dimensional box $V_N$ of side length $N$, and we study the first passage percolation where each vertex is assigned weight…

We study Mandelbrot's percolation process in dimension $d \geq 2$. The process generates random fractal sets by an iterative procedure which starts by dividing the unit cube $[0,1]^d$ in $N^d$ subcubes, and independently retaining or…

We consider a Poisson point process on the space of lines in R^d, where a multiplicative factor u>0 of the intensity measure determines the density of lines. Each line in the process is taken as the axis of a bi-infinite cylinder of radius…

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…

Large deviation for Markov processes can be studied by Hamilton--Jacobi equation techniques. The method of proof involves three steps: First, we apply a nonlinear transform to generators of the Markov processes, and verify that limit of the…

This paper is a survey of various results and techniques in first passage percolation, a random process modeling a spreading fluid on an infinite graph. The latter half of the paper focuses on the connection between first passage…

We consider the advection-diffusion equation \[ \phi_t + Au \cdot \nabla \phi = \Delta \phi, \qquad \phi(0,x)=\phi_0(x) \] on $\bbR^2$, with $u$ a periodic incompressible flow and $A\gg 1$ its amplitude. We provide a sharp characterization…

Let $M_{l,n}$ be the number of blocks with frequency $l$ in the exchangeable random partition induced by a sample of size $n$ from the Ewens-Pitman sampling model. We show that, as $n$ tends to infinity, $n^{-1}M_{l,n}$ satisfies a large…
