Abstract

We investigate the large deviations principle from the McKean-Vlasov limit for a collection of jump processes obeying a two-level hierarchy interaction. A large deviation upper bound is derived and it is shown that the associated rate function admits a Lagrangian representation as well as a nonvariational one. Moreover, it is proved that the admissible paths for the weak solution of the McKean-Vlasov equation enjoy certain strong differentiability properties.
