Abstract

Consider a class of uniformly elliptic diffusion processes (Xt)t ≥ 0 on Euclidean spaces Rd. We give an estimate of EPx[exp(TΦ(1/T ∫T0 δ Xt dt))||XT = y] as T → ∞ up to the order 1+o(1), where δ, means the delta measure, and Φ is a function on the set of measures on Rd. This is a generalization of the works by Bolthausen-Deuschel-Tamura [3] and Kusuoka-Liang [10], which studied the same problems for processes on compact state spaces.
