Fluctuations for internal DLA on the Comb

Abstract

We study internal diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) on the two dimensional comb lattice. The comb lattice is a spanning tree of the euclidean lattice, and internal DLA is a random growth model, where simple random walks, starting one at a time at the origin of the comb, stop when reaching the first unoccupied site. An asymptotic shape is suggested by a lower bound of Huss and Sava. We show that fluctuations with respect to this shape are gaussian as in the one-dimensional lattice.
