Process-level quenched large deviations for random walk in random environment
Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques, Volume 47 (2011) no. 1, pp. 214-242.

We consider a bounded step size random walk in an ergodic random environment with some ellipticity, on an integer lattice of arbitrary dimension. We prove a level 3 large deviation principle, under almost every environment, with rate function related to a relative entropy.

Nous considérons une marche aléatoire en environnement aléatoire ergodique. La marche est elliptique et à pas bornés. Nous prouvons un principe de grandes déviations au niveau 3, sous presque tout environnement, avec une fonctionnelle d'action liée à une entropie relative.
