Large deviations for metastable states of Markov processes with absorbing states with applications to population models in stable or randomly switching environment

Abstract

The large deviations at Level 2.5 are applied to Markov processes with absorbing states in order to obtain the explicit extinction rate of metastable quasi-stationary states in terms of their empirical time-averaged density and of their time-averaged empirical flows over a large time-window $T$. The standard spectral problem for the slowest relaxation mode can be recovered from the full optimization of the extinction rate over all these empirical observables and the equivalence can be understood via the Doob generator of the process conditioned to survive up to time $T$. The large deviation properties of any time-additive observable of the Markov trajectory before extinction can be derived from the Level 2.5 via the decomposition of the time-additive observable in terms of the empirical density and the empirical flows. This general formalism is described for continuous-time Markov chains, with applications to population birth-death model in a stable or in a switching environment, and for diffusion processes in dimension $d$.
