Optimal-order exit point bounds in exponential last-passage percolation via the coupling technique

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We develop a new probabilistic method for deriving deviation estimates in directed planar polymer and percolation models. The key estimates are for exit points of geodesics as they cross transversal down-right boundaries. These bounds are of optimal cubic-exponential order. We derive them in the context of last-passage percolation with exponential weights with near-stationary boundary conditions. As a result, the probabilistic coupling method is empowered to treat a variety of problems optimally, which could previously be achieved only via inputs from integrable probability. As applications in the bulk setting, we obtain upper bounds of cubic-exponential order for transversal fluctuations of geodesics, and cube-root upper bounds with a logarithmic correction for distributional Busemann limits and competition interface limits. Several other applications are already in the literature.
