AbstractWe consider point-to-point last-passage times to every vertex in a neighbourhood of size $$\delta N^{\nicefrac {2}{3}}$$ δ N 2 3 at distance N from the starting point. The increments of the last-passage times in this neighbourhood are shown to be jointly equal to their stationary versions with high probability that depends only on $$\delta $$ δ . Through this result we show that (1) the $$\text {Airy}_2$$ Airy 2 process is locally close to a Brownian motion in total variation; (2) the tree of point-to-point geodesics from every vertex in a box of side length $$\delta N^{\nicefrac {2}{3}}$$ δ N 2 3 going to a point at distance N agrees inside the box with the tree of semi-infinite geodesics going in the same direction; (3) two point-to-point geodesics started at distance $$N^{\nicefrac {2}{3}}$$ N 2 3 from each other, to a point at distance N, will not coalesce close to either endpoint on the scale N. Our main results rely on probabilistic methods only.

Abstract This paper gives a self-contained proof of the non-existence of nontrivial bi-infinite geodesics in directed planar last-passage percolation with exponential weights. The techniques used are couplings, coarse graining, and control of geodesics through planarity and estimates derived from increment-stationary versions of the last-passage percolation process.

This paper studies a number of matrix models of size n and the associated Markov chains for the eigenvalues of the models for consecutive n's. They are consecutive principal minors for two of the models, GUE with external source and the multiple Laguerre matrix model, and merely properly defined consecutive matrices for the third one, the Jacobi–Piñeiro model; nevertheless the eigenvalues of the consecutive models all interlace. We show: (i) For each of those finite models, we give the transition probability of the associated Markov chain and the joint distribution of the entire interlacing set of eigenvalues; we show this is a determinantal point process whose extended kernels share many common features. (ii) To each of these models and their set of eigenvalues, we associate a last-passage percolation model, either finite percolation or percolation along an infinite strip of finite width, yielding a precise relationship between the last-passage times and the eigenvalues. (iii) Finally, it is shown that for appropriate choices of exponential distribution on the percolation, with very small means, the rescaled last-passage times lead to the Pearcey process; this should connect the Pearcey statistics with random directed polymers.
