Large Deviations, Free Energy Functional and Quasi-Potential for a Mean Field Model of Interacting Diffusions

Couverture
American Mathematical Soc., 1989 - 94 pages
Large deviations for an exchangeable system of reversible diffusions in [double-struck]R[superscript italic]d are investigated in the limit when the number of particles tends to infinity with the objective of providing a methodology to study dynamical phase transitions, tunnelling and metastability for the class of mean field models in statistical physics.
