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 first-passage percolation on $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\ge 2$, with independent weights whose common distribution is compactly supported in $(0,\infty)$ with a uniformly-positive density. Given $\epsilon>0$ and $v\in\mathbb Z^d$, which…

A graph $H$ is an induced subgraph of a graph $G$ if a graph isomorphic to $H$ can be obtained from $G$ by deleting vertices. Recently, there has been significant interest in understanding the unavoidable induced subgraphs for graphs of…

In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…

It is believed that for metric-like models in the KPZ class the following property holds: with probability one, starting from any point, there are at most two semi-infinite geodesics with the same direction that do not coalesce. Until now,…

Given a graph $G$, a geodesic packing in $G$ is a set of vertex-disjoint maximal geodesics, and the geodesic packing number of $G$, ${\gpack}(G)$, is the maximum cardinality of a geodesic packing in $G$. It is proved that the decision…

We consider Bernoulli first-passage percolation on the $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice with $d \geq 2$. The passage time of edge $e$ is $0$ with probability $p$ and $1$ with probability $1-p$, independently of each other. Let $p_c$ be…

We give the first properties of independent Bernoulli percolation, for oriented graphs on the set of vertices $\Z^d$ that are translation-invariant and may contain loops. We exhibit some examples showing that the critical probability for…

This paper consists of two halves. In the first half of the paper, we consider real-valued functions $f$ whose domain is the vertex set of a graph $G$ and that are Lipschitz with respect to the graph distance. By placing a uniform…

Let us consider Euclidean first-passage percolation on the Poisson-Delaunay triangulation. We prove almost sure coalescence of any two semi-infinite geodesics with the same asymptotic direction. The proof is based on an adapted Burton-Keane…

We prove results for first-passage percolation on the configuration model with i.i.d. degrees having finite mean, infinite variance and i.i.d. weights with strictly positive support of the form Y=a+X, where a is a positive constant. We…

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…

This paper studies the first passage percolation (FPP) model: each edge in the cubic lattice is assigned a random passage time, and consideration is given to the behavior of the percolation region $B(t)$, which consists of those vertices…

We consider first passage percolation on sparse random graphs with prescribed degree distributions and general independent and identically distributed edge weights assumed to have a density. Assuming that the degree distribution satisfies a…

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…

We want to investigate 'spaces' where paths have a 'weight', or 'cost', expressing length, duration, price, energy, etc. The weight function is not assumed to be invariant up to path-reversion. Thus, 'weighted algebraic topology' can be…

We consider directed last-passage percolation on the random graph G = (V,E) where V = Z and each edge (i,j), for i < j, is present in E independently with some probability 0 < p <= 1. To every present edge (i,j) we attach i.i.d. random…

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 investigate the geodesics in the entire class of nonexpanding impulsive gravitational waves propagating in an (anti-)de Sitter universe using the distributional form of the metric. Employing a 5-dimensional embedding formalism and a…

In a geometric inhomogeneous random graph vertices are given by the points of a Poisson process and are equipped with independent weights following a heavy tailed distribution. Any pair of distinct vertices is independently forming an edge…
