Large deviations for self-intersection local times in subcritical dimensions

Abstract: Let

(X_{t}, t g e q 0)

be a random walk on

m a t h b b Z^{d}

. Let

l_{t} (x) = i n t_{0}^{t} d e l t a_{x} (X_{s}) d s

be the local time at site

x

and

I_{t} = s u m l i m i t s_{x i n m a t h b b Z^{d}} l_{t} (x)^{p}

the p-fold self-intersection local time (SILT). Becker and K"onig have recently proved a large deviations principle for

I_{t}

for all

(p, d) i n m a t h b b R^{d} i m e s m a t h b b Z^{d}

such that

p (d - 2) < 2

. We extend these results to a broader scale of deviations and to the whole subcritical domain

p (d - 2) < d

. Moreover we unify the proofs of the large deviations principle using a method introduced by Castell for the critical case

p (d - 2) = d

and developed by Laurent for the critical and supercritical case

p (d - a l p h a) g e q d

of

a l p h a

-stable random walk.
