We show how the large deviations are obtained from the large deviations of the (time-dependent) horizontal lift of $g(t)$-Brownian motion to the frame bundle $FM$ over $M$. The latter is proved by embedding the frame bundle into some Euclidean space and applying Freidlin-Wentzell theory for diffusions with time-dependent coefficients, where the coefficients are jointly Lipschitz in space and time.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-01T12:06:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F10", "58J65" ], "keywords": [ "large deviations", "evolving riemannian manifold", "brownian motion", "frame bundle", "time-dependent coefficients" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
