Abstract: We study sample-path large deviations for L'evy processes and random walks with heavy-tailed jump-size distributions that are of Weibull type. Our main results include an extended form of an LDP (large deviations principle) in the J1 topology, and a full LDP in the M1 topology. The rate function can be represented as the solution to a quasi-variational problem. The sharpness and applicability of these results are illustrated by a counterexample proving the nonexistence of a full LDP in the J1 topology, and by an application to a first passage problem.
