Abstract

The directed landscape is the scaling limit of Brownian last passage percolation and is conjectured to be the universal random metric for models in the KPZ universality class. Let G be the union of all the geodesics without their endpoints. Although G has Hausdorff dimension only 4/3, almost surely every finite length path in the directed landscape spends measure 0 time outside G. In this talk, I will go over techniques used to prove this result. Joint work with Balint Virag and Sourav Sarkar.
