Moderate deviations for a Curie–Weiss model with dynamical external field

Abstract

In the present paper we prove moderate deviations for a Curie–Weiss model with external magnetic field generated by a dynamical system, as introduced by Dombry and Guillotin-Plantard in [C. Dombry and N. Guillotin-Plantard, Markov Process. Related Fields 15 (2009) 1–30]. The results extend those already obtained for the Curie–Weiss model without external field by Eichelsbacher and Lowe in [P. Eichelsbacher and M. Lowe, Markov Process. Related Fields 10 (2004) 345–366]. The Curie–Weiss model with dynamical external field is related to the so called dynamic ℤ-random walks (see [N. Guillotin-Plantard and R. Schott, Theory and applications, Elsevier B. V., Amsterdam (2006).]). We also prove a moderate deviation result for the dynamic ℤ-random walk, completing the list of limit theorems for this object.
