Pathwise large deviations for the pure jump \(k\)-nary interacting particle systems (Q6126119)

The author proves a pathwise large deviation result for the pure jump models of the \(k-\)nary interacting particle system introduced by Kolokoltsov that generalizes classical Boltzmann's collision model, Smoluchovski's coagulation model and others. The upper bound is obtained by following the standard methods of using a process ``perturbed'' by a regular function. To show the lower bound, the author proposes a family of orthogonal martingale measures and proves a coupling for the general perturbations. The rate function is studied based on the idea of Léonard with a simplification by considering the conjugation of integral functionals on a subspace of \(L^{\infty}\). General ``gelling'' solutions in the domain of the rate function are also discussed.
