Abstract

A range of first-passage percolation type models are believed to demonstrate the related properties of sublinear variance and superdiffusivity. We show that directed last-passage percolation with Gaussian vertex weights has a sublinear variance property. We also consider other vertex weight distributions.
Corresponding results are obtained for the ground state of the “directed polymers in a random environment” model.
