摘要:For the supercritical contact process on the hyper-cubic lattice startedfrom a single infection at the origin and conditioned on survival, we establish twouniformity results for the hitting times t(x), dened for each site x as the rsttime at which it becomes infected. First, the family of random variables (t(x) t(y))=jxyj, indexed by x 6= y in Zd, is stochastically tight. Second, for each " > 0there exists x such that, for innitely many integers n, t(nx) < t((n + 1)x) withprobability larger than 1 ". A key ingredient in our proofs is a tightness resultconcerning the essential hitting times of the supercritical contact process introducedby Garet and Marchand (2012).
