Ergodicity of the number of infinite geodesics originating from zero

Abstract

First-passage percolation is a random growth model which has a metric structure. An infinite geodesic is an infinite sequence whose all sub-sequences are shortest paths. One of the important quantity is the number of infinite geodesics originating from the origin. When $d=2$ and an edge distribution is continuous, it is proved to be almost surely constant [D. Ahlberg, C. Hoffman. Random coalescing geodesics in first-passage percolation]. In this paper, we will prove the same result for higher dimensions and general distributions.
