Abstract
We consider a mean-field system of path-dependent stochastic interacting diffusions in random media over a finite time window. The interaction term is given as a function of the empirical measure and is allowed to be nonlinear and path dependent. We prove that the sequence of empirical measures of the full trajectories satisfies a large deviation principle with explicit rate function. The minimizer of the rate function is characterized as the pathdependent McKean-Vlasov diffusion associated to the system. As corollary, we obtain a strong law of large numbers for the sequence of empirical measures. The proof is based on a decoupling technique by associating to the system a convenient family of product measures. To illustrate, we apply our results for the delayed stochastic Kuramoto model and for a SDE version of Galves-Löcherbach model.
