Large-deviation theory for a Brownian particle on a ring: a WKB approach

Abstract

We study the large deviation function of the displacement of a Brownian particle confined on a ring. In the zero noise limit this large deviation function has a cusp at zero velocity given by the Freidlin-Wentzell theory. We develop a WKB approach to analyse how this cusp is rounded in the weak noise limit.
