Large deviations for continuous additive functionals of symmetric Markov processes

Seunghwan Yang

Abstract

Let $X$ be a locally compact separable metric space and $m$ a positive Radon measure on $X$ with full topological support. Let ${\bf{M}}=(P_x,X_t)$ be an $m$-symmetric Markov process on $X$. Let $(\mathcal{E},\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{E}))$ be the Dirichlet form on $L^2(X;m)$ generated by ${\bf{M}}$. Let $\mu$ be a positive Radon measure in the Green-tight Kato class and $A^\mu_t$ the positive continuous additive functional in the Revuz correspondence to $\mu$. Under certain conditions, we establish the large deviation principle for positive continuous additive functionals $A^\mu_t$ of symmetric Markov processes.
