# Existence and coalescence of directed infinite geodesics in the percolation cone for Durrett-Liggett class of measures

## TL;DR

This paper proves the existence and coalescence of directed infinite geodesics in a specific percolation model without relying on unproven shape assumptions, demonstrating key properties of first passage percolation in the Durrett-Liggett class.

## Contribution

It establishes the existence, coalescence, and bi-infinite geodesics in the Durrett-Liggett class of measures without assuming the limiting shape.

## Key findings

- Infinite geodesics exist along directions in the percolation cone.
- Directed geodesics coalesce almost surely.
- Bi-infinite geodesics exist almost surely.

## Abstract

For first passage percolation (FPP) on integer lattice with i.i.d. passage time distributions, in order to show existence of semi-infinite geodesics along a fixed direction, one requires unproven assumptions on the limiting shape. We consider FPP on two-dimensional integer lattice with i.i.d. passage times distributed as Durrett-Liggett class of measures. For this model, we show that along any direction in a deterministic angular sector (known as percolation cone), starting from every lattice point there exists an infinite geodesic along that direction and such directed geodesics coalesce almost surely. We prove that for this model, bi-infinite geodesics exist almost surely. Our proof does not require any assumption on the limiting shape.
