Non-existence of bi-infinite geodesics in the exponential corner growth model. (English) Zbl 1456.60248

Summary: 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.
