Abstract: We study the random geometry of first passage percolation on the complete graph equipped with independent and identically distributed edge weights, continuing the program initiated by Bhamidi and van der Hofstad [9]. We describe our results in terms of a sequence of parameters (sn)ngeq1 that quantifies the extreme-value behavior of small weights, and that describes different universality classes for first passage percolation on the complete graph. We consider both n-independent as well as n-dependent edge weights. The simplest example consists of edge weights of the form Esn, where E is an exponential random variable with mean 1. In this paper, we investigate the case where snightarrowinfty, and focus on the local neighborhood of a vertex. We establish that the smallest-weight tree of a vertex locally converges to the invasion percolation cluster on the Poisson weighted infinite tree. In addition, we identify the scaling limit of the weight of the smallest-weight path between two uniform vertices.
