Jd. Deuschel et Km. Wang, LARGE DEVIATIONS FOR THE OCCUPATION TIME FUNCTIONAL OF A POISSON SYSTEM OF INDEPENDENT BROWNIAN PARTICLES, Stochastic processes and their applications, 52(2), 1994, pp. 183-209
We study the large deviations and the central limit theorem for the oc
cupation time functional of a Poisson system of independent Brownian p
articles in R(d), extending the results of Cox and Griffeath (1984) to
functional spaces. In the lower (recurrent) dimensions d = 1,2 we hav
e critical orders T-1/2 and T/log T, whereas in higher (transient) dim
ensions we have the usual order T. We give explicit expressions for th
e corresponding rate functions and covariance functionals and derive s
ome asymptotic microcanonical distributions.
