We consider the context of molecular motors modelled by a diffusion process driven by the gradient of a weakly periodic potential that depends on an internal degree of freedom. The switch of the internal state, that can freely be interpreted as a molecular switch, is modelled as ...
We consider a class of slow–fast processes on a connected complete Riemannian manifold M. The limiting dynamics as the scale separation goes to ∞ is governed by the averaging principle. Around this limit, we prove large deviation principles with an action-integral rate function f ...
Motivated by recent developments in the fields of large deviations for interacting particle systems and mean field control, we establish a comparison principle for the Hamilton–Jacobi equation corresponding to linearly controlled gradient flows of an energy function E defined on ...
We extend the Barles-Perthame procedure [4] (see also [22]) of semi-relaxed limits of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations of the type f−λHf=h to the context of non-compact spaces. The convergence result allows for equations on a ‘converging sequence of spaces’ as wel ...
We study the well-posedness of Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations on subsets of Rd in a context without boundary conditions. The Hamiltonian is given as the supremum over two parts: an internal Hamiltonian depending on an external control variable and a cost functional ...
We establish uniqueness for a class of first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations with Hamiltonians that arise from the large deviations of the empirical measure and empirical flux pair of weakly interacting Markov jump processes. As a corollary, we obtain such a large deviation princ ...
We study the loss, recovery, and preservation of differentiability of time-dependent large deviation rate functions. This study is motivated by mean-field Gibbs-non-Gibbs transitions. The gradient of the rate-function evolves according to a Hamiltonian flow. This Hamiltonian flow ...
We modify the spin-flip dynamics of the Curie–Weiss model with dissipation in Dai Pra, Fischer and Regoli (2013) by considering arbitrary transition rates and we analyze the phase-portrait as well as the dynamics of moderate fluctuations for macroscopic observables. We obtain pat ...
We prove Freidlin–Wentzell type large deviation principles for various rescaled models in populations dynamics that have immigration and possibly harvesting: birth–death processes, Galton–Watson trees, epidemic SI models, and prey–predator models. The proofs are carried out using ...
We study the Hamilton-Jacobi equation f − λHf = h, where Hf = e−f Aef and where A is an operator that corresponds to a well-posed martingale problem. We identify an operator that gives viscosity solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi equa-tion, and which can there ...
The dynamical Curie-Weiss model of self-organized criticality (SOC) was introduced in (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré Probab. Stat. 53 (2017) 658-678) and it is derived from the classical generalized Curie-Weiss by imposing a microscopic Markovian evolution having the distribution of ...
We develop a formalism to discuss the properties of GENERIC systems in terms of corresponding Hamiltonians that appear in the characterization of large-deviation limits. We demonstrate how the GENERIC structure naturally arises from a certain symmetry in the Hamiltonian, which ex ...
We generalize classical large deviation theorems to the setting of complete, smooth Riemannian manifolds. We prove the analogue of Mogulskii's theorem for geodesic random walks via a general approach using viscosity solutions for Hamilton–Jacobi equations. As a corollary, we also ...

‘A Banach–Dieudonné theorem for the space of bounded continuous functions on a separable metric space with the strict topology’ (Topology and its Applications (2016) 209 (181–188), (S0166864116301213) (10.1016/j.topol.2016.06.003))

The author regrets a mistake made in Kraaij [2]. We summarize the results which remain valid and those whose validity is now unclear.
An overview of the status of the main results: Let X be a separable metric space. On X we consider the space of bounded continuous functions [ ...
We complete the investigation of the Gibbs properties of the fuzzy Potts model on the d-dimensional torus with Kac interaction which was started by Jahnel and one of the authors in [JaKu17]. As our main result of the present paper, we extend the previous sharpness result of mean- ...
We analyze the dynamics of moderate fluctuations for macroscopic observables of the random field Curie-Weiss model (i.e., standard Curie-Weiss model embedded in a site-dependent, i.i.d. random environment). We obtain path-space moderate deviation principles via a general analytic ...
We study the large deviation behaviour of the trajectories of empirical distributions of independent copies of time-homogeneous Feller processes on locally compact metric spaces. Under the condition that we can find a suitable core for the generator of the Feller process, we are ...
Much of the structure of macroscopic evolution equations for relaxation to equilibrium can be derived from symmetries in the dynamical fluctuations around the most typical trajectory. For example, detailed balance as expressed in terms of the Lagrangian for the path-space action ...
We derive moderate deviation principles for the trajectory of the empirical magnetization of the standard Curie–Weiss model via a general analytic approach based on convergence of generators and uniqueness of viscosity solutions for associated Hamilton–Jacobi equations. The moder ...
Let X be a separable metric space and let β be the strict topology on the space of bounded continuous functions on X, which has the space of τ-additive Borel measures as a continuous dual space. We prove a Banach-Dieudonné type result for the space of bounded continuous functions ...
