DESCRIPTION:Title: On Doubly-Infinite Geodesics In First-Passage Percolatio
 n Above Two Dimensions\n	\n	Abstract: First-passage percolation (FPP) is the
  study of the weighted graph metric induced by i.i.d. nonnegative edge wei
 ghts on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Many results and conjectures on the model involve 
 the behavior of infinite geodesics: infinite paths whose finite subsegment
 s are geodesics for the FPP metric. In particular\, do doubly-infinite geo
 desics exist? Much progress has been made on this question when $d = 2$\, 
 but the methods used there rely heavily on planarity. We will discuss new 
 techniques which rule out a class of bigeodesics when $d > 2$ as well\, pr
 oviding the first results for general dimension. Based on joint works with
  G. Brito and M. Damron.\n
