Abstract: In this paper, we study the quasi-potential for a general class of damped semilinear stochastic wave equations. We show that, as the density of the mass converges to zero, the infimum of the quasi-potential with respect to all possible velocities converges to the quasi-potential of the corresponding stochastic heat equation, that one obtains from the zero mass limit. This shows in particular that the Smoluchowski-Kramers approximation is not only valid for small time, but, in the zero noise limit regime, can be used to approximate long-time behaviors such as exit time and exit place from a basin of attraction.
