Abstract
If β_t is renormalized self-intersection local time for planar Brownian motion, we characterize when Ee^{γβ_1} is finite or infinite in terms of the best constant of a Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality. We prove large deviation estimates for β_1 and -β_1. We establish lim sup and lim inf laws of the iterated logarithm for β_t as t\to\infty.
