Summary.
In standard first-passage percolation on \({\Bbb Z}^d\) (with \(d\geq 2\)), the time-minimizing paths from a point to a plane at distance \(L\) are expected to have transverse fluctuations of order \(L^\xi\). It has been conjectured that \(\xi(d)\geq 1/2\) with the inequality strict (superdiffusivity) at least for low \(d\) and with \(\xi(2)=2/3\). We prove (versions of) \(\xi(d)\geq 1/2\) for all \(d\) and \(\xi(2)\geq 3/5\).
