Abstract: In Brownian last-passage percolation (BLPP), the Busemann functions mathcalBheta(mathbfx,mathbfy) are indexed by two points mathbfx,mathbfyinmathbbZimesmathbbR, and a direction parameter heta>0. We derive the joint distribution of Busemann functions across all directions. The set of directions where the Busemann process is discontinuous, denoted Theta, provides detailed information about the uniqueness and coalescence of semi-infinite geodesics. The uncountable set of initial points in BLPP gives rise to new phenomena not seen in discrete models. For example, in every direction heta>0, there exists a countably infinite set of initial points mathbfx such that there exist two heta-directed geodesics that split but eventually coalesce. Further, we define the competition interface in BLPP and show that the set of initial points whose competition interface is nontrivial has Hausdorff dimension frac12. From each of these exceptional points, there exists a random direction hetainTheta for which there exists two heta-directed semi-infinite geodesics that split immediately and never meet again. Conversely, when hetainTheta, from every initial point mathbfxinmathbbZimesmathbbR, there exists two heta-directed semi-infinite geodesics that eventually separate. Whenever hetaotinTheta, all heta-directed semi-infinite geodesics coalesce.
