Large deviation for a class of current-valued processes (Q1199257)

We are concerned with the large deviation problem for two typical current-valued processes among those that are induced by random curves: one is induced by Brownian motion, the other is by geodesic flow. For both processes, the law of large numbers and the central limit theorems have been studied and there are some studies discussing relations between asymptotic behaviours of Brownian motion and geodesic flow [see e.g., \textit{F. Ledrappier}, Bol. Soc. Bras. Mat. 19, No. 1, 115-140 (1988; Zbl 0685.58036)]. These results suggest that the deviation functions for two current-valued processes may coincide or at least have some connections, but since at present this remains unclear, we content ourselves to determine the deviation functions for those two current-valued processes.
