Power Lower Bounds for the Central Moments of the Last Passage Time for Directed Percolation in a Thin Rectangle

Abstract: In directed last passage site percolation with i.i.d.~random weights with finite support over a

n i m e s l f l o o r n^{a l p h a} f l o o r

grid, we prove that for

n

large enough, the order of the

r

-th central moment,

1 l e r < + i n f t y

, of the last passage time is lower bounded by

n^{r (1 - a l p h a) / 2}

,

0 < a l p h a < 1 / 3

.
