Large deviations for cascades of diffusions arising in oscillating systems of interacting Hawkes processes

Probability 2017-09-28 v1

Abstract

We consider oscillatory systems of interacting Hawkes processes introduced in Ditlevsen and Loecherbach (2017) to model multi-class systems of interacting neurons together with the diffusion approximations of their intensity processes. This diffusion, which incorporates the memory terms defining the dynamics of the Hawkes process, is hypo-elliptic. It is given by a high dimensional chain of differential equations driven by 22-dimensional Brownian motion. We study the large-population-, i.e., small noise-limit of its invariant measure for which we establish a large deviation result in the spirit of Freidlin and Wentzell.
