On local large deviations for decoupled random walks

Abstract

A decoupled standard random walk is a sequence of independent random variables (S^n)n1(\hat{S}_n)_{n \geq 1} such that, for each n1n \geq 1, the distribution of S^n\hat{S}_n is the same as that of Sn=ξ1++ξnS_n = \xi_1 + \ldots + \xi_n, where (ξk)k1(\xi_k)_{k \geq 1} are independent copies of a nonnegative random variable ξ\xi. We consider the counting process (N^(t))t0(\hat{N}(t))_{t\geq 0} defined as the number of terms S^n\hat{S}_n in the sequence (S^n)n1(\hat{S}_n)_{n \geq 1} that lie within the interval [0,t][0, t]. Under various assumptions on the tail distribution of ξ\xi, we derive logarithmic asymptotics for the local large deviation probabilities P{N^(t)=bE[N^(t)]}\mathbb{P}\{\hat{N}(t) = \lfloor b \, \mathbb{E}[\hat{N}(t)] \rfloor\} as tt \to \infty for a fixed constant b>0b > 0. These results are then applied to obtain a logarithmic local large deviations asymptotic for the counting process associated with the infinite Ginibre ensemble and, more generally, for determinantal point processes with the Mittag-Leffler kernel.
