The directed landscape (Q6042828)

The conjectured limit of various last passage percolation models is a scale-invariant, independent, stationary increment process with respect to metric composition. The authors prove this for Brownian last passage percolation. It has since been proved also for other last-passage percolation models. They construct the Airy sheet and characterize it in terms of the Airy line ensemble. They also show that last passage geodesics converge to random functions with Hölder-2/3-continuous paths. This substantial work completes the construction of a central probabilistic object in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, the so-called ``directed landscape''.
