Description
The chemical distance D(x,y) is the length of the shortest open path between two points x and y in an infinite Bernoulli percolation cluster. In this work, we study the asymptotic behaviour of this random metric, and we prove that, for an appropriate norm $μ$ depending on the dimension and the percolation parameter, the probability of the event \[\biggl\{0\leftrightarrow x,\frac{D(0,x)}{μ(x)}\notin (1-ε, 1+ε) \biggr\}\] exponentially decreases when $\|x\|_1$ tends to infinity. From this bound we also derive a large deviation inequality for the corresponding asymptotic shape result.
