Abstract
For last passage percolation (LPP) on ℤ2 with exponential passage times, let Tn denote the passage time from (1, 1) to (n,n). We investigate the law of iterated logarithm of the sequence {Tn}n≥1; we show that $$\lim \,{\inf _{n \to \infty }}{{{T_n} - 4n} \over {{n^{1/3}}{{\left( {\log \,\log \,n} \right)}^{1/3}}}}$$ almost surely converges to a deterministic negative constant and obtain some estimates on the same. This settles a conjecture of Ledoux (2018) where a related lower bound and similar results for the corresponding upper tail were proved. Our proof relies on a slight shift in perspective from point-to-point passage times to considering point-to-line passage times instead, and exploiting the correspondence of the latter to the largest eigenvalue of the Laguerre Orthogonal Ensemble (LOE). A key technical ingredient, which is of independent interest, is a new lower bound of lower tail deviation probability of the largest eigenvalue of β-Laguerre ensembles, which extends the results proved in the context of the β-Hermite ensembles by Ledoux and Rider (2010).
