First and last passage percolation are statistical physics models of
random growth. These models are widely believed to belong to the
Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. I will define these two models
and talk about what it means to be in this universality class. A
longstanding question about these models is whether they have
bi-infinite geodesics. This question is of interest to...
