Abstract

In this paper we prove a duality relation between coalescence times and exit\npoints in last-passage percolation models with exponential weights. As a\nconsequence, we get lower bounds for coalescence times with scaling exponent\n3/2, and we relate its distribution with variational problems involving the\nBrownian motion process and the Airy process.\n
