Abstract: Given a planar continuum Gaussian free field hmathcalU in a domain mathcalU with Dirichlet boundary condition and any delta>0, we let hdeltamathcalU(v):vinmathcalU be a real-valued smooth Gaussian process where hdeltamathcalU(v) is the average of hmathcalU along a circle of radius delta with center v. For gamma>0, we study the Liouville first passage percolation (in scale delta), i.e., the shortest path distance in mathcalU where the weight of each path P is given by intPmathrmegammahdeltamathcalU(z)|dz|. We show that the distance between two typical points is O(deltacgamma4/3/loggamma1) for all sufficiently small but fixed gamma>0 and some constant c>0. In addition, we obtain similar upper bounds on the Liouville first passage percolation for discrete Gaussian free fields, as well as the Liouville graph distance which roughly speaking is the minimal number of Euclidean balls with comparable Liouville quantum gravity measure whose union contains a continuous path between two endpoints. Our results contradict with some reasonable interpretations of Watabiki's prediction (1993) on the random distance of Liouville quantum gravity at high temperatures.
