AbstractLarge deviation rates are obtained for suspension flows over symbolic dynamical systems with a countable alphabet. We use a method employed previously by the first author [Large deviations bound for semiflows over a non-uniformly expanding base. Bull. Braz. Math. Soc. (N.S.)38(3) (2007), 335–376], which follows that of Young [Some large deviation results for dynamical systems. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.318(2) (1990), 525–543]. As a corollary of the main results, we obtain a large deviation bound for the Teichmüller flow on the moduli space of abelian differentials, extending earlier work of Athreya [Quantitative recurrence and large deviations for Teichmuller geodesic flow. Geom. Dedicata119 (2006), 121–140].

AbstractWe obtain large deviation bounds for the measure of deviation sets associated with asymptotically additive and sub-additive potentials under some weak specification properties. In particular, a large deviation principle is obtained in the case of uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems. Some applications to the study of the convergence of Lyapunov exponents are given.
