Large deviations for intersection local times in critical dimension

Probability 2010-10-05 v2

Abstract

Let (Xt,t0)(X_t,t\geq0) be a continuous time simple random walk on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d (d3d\geq3), and let lT(x)l_T(x) be the time spent by (Xt,t0)(X_t,t\geq0) on the site xx up to time TT. We prove a large deviations principle for the qq-fold self-intersection local time IT=xZdlT(x)qI_T=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{Z}^d}l_T(x)^q in the critical case q=dd2q=\frac{d}{d-2}. When qq is integer, we obtain similar results for the intersection local times of qq independent simple random walks.
