In those scaling regimes where the particles tend to cluster, we prove a Large Deviation Principle (LDP) for the empirical measure of the attractive BPs. Under what we call the 1-to-$n$ initial-terminal condition, we characterize the unique minimizer of the rate function and relate the minimizer to the spacetime limit shapes of the Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) equation in the upper tails. The results of this paper are used in the companion paper Lin and Tsai (2023) to prove an $n$-point, upper-tail LDP for the KPZ equation and to characterize the corresponding spacetime limit shape.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-27T17:46:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high moments", "clustering regimes", "stochastic heat equation", "companion paper lin", "large deviation principle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
