Equality of averaged and quenched large deviations for random walks in random environments in dimensions four and higher (Q639874)

The large deviations for a nearest-neighbor random walk on \(\mathbb Z^d\) in a uniformly elliptic i.i.d. environment are studied. For dimension at least four and under Sznitman's transience condition, the author proves that the rate functions are finite and equal on a closed set whose interior contains every nonzero velocity at which the rate functions vanish.
