Abstract

Consider the intersection measure tIS of p independent Brownian motions on Rd. We prove the large deviation principle for the normalized intersection measure tptIS as t, before exiting a (possibly unbounded) domain DRd with smooth boundary. This is an extension of the result of König and Mukherjee [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 66 (2013) 263–306] which deals with the case D is bounded. The essential contribution of this paper is to prove the so-called super-exponential estimate for the intersection measure of killed Brownian motions on such D by an application of the Chapman–Kolmogorov relation. As a consequence, the new argument in this paper gives not only an extension to unbounded domains but also a simpler proof even for bounded domains.

Nous considérons la mesure d’intersection tIS de p mouvements browniens indépendants sur Rd. Nous prouvons un principe de grande déviation pour la mesure d’intersection normalisée tptIS lorsque t tend vers l’infini, avant de sortir d’un domaine DRd (qui peut être non borné) avec une frontière lisse. Ce travail généralise [Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 66 (2013) 263–306] dans lequel D est borné. La contribution essentielle de cet article est de prouver, par une application de la relation de Chapman–Kolmogorov, une estimation sur-exponentielle pour la mesure d’intersection des mouvements browniens tués sur un tel D. Ce nouvel argument apporte aussi une preuve plus simple dans le cas des domaines bornés.
