Letbe an increasing sequence of positive integers satisfying the Hadamard gap conditionfor all, and let\begin {equation*} S_n (\omega)=\sum _ {k= 1}^ n\cos (2\pi a_k\omega),\qquad n\in\mathbb N,\;\omega\in [0, 1].\end {equation*} Thenis called a lacunary trigonometric sum, and can be viewed as a random variable defined on the probability spaceendowed with Lebesgue measure. Lacunary sums are known to exhibit several properties that are typical for sums of independent random variables. For example, a central limit theorem forhas been obtained by Salem and Zygmund, while a law of the iterated logarithm is due to Erdős and Gál. In this paper we study large deviation principles for lacunary sums. Specifically, under the large gap condition, we prove that the sequencedoes indeed satisfy a large deviation principle with speedand the same rate functionas for sums of independent random variables with the arcsine distribution. On the other hand, we show that the large deviation principle may fail to hold when we only assume the Hadamard gap condition. However, we show that in the special case whenfor some,satisfies a large deviation principle (with speed) and a rate functionthat is different from, and describe an algorithm to compute an arbitrary number of terms in the Taylor expansion of. In addition, we also prove thatconverges pointwise toas. Furthermore, we construct a random perturbationof the sequencefor whichas, but for which at the same timesatisfies a large deviation principle with the same rate functionas in the independent case, which is surprisingly different from the rate functionone might naïvely expect. We relate this fact to the number of solutions of certain Diophantine equations. Together, these results show that large deviation principles for lacunary trigonometric sums are very sensitive to the arithmetic properties of the sequence. This is particularly noteworthy since no such arithmetic effects are visible in the central limit theorem or in the law of the iterated logarithm for lacunary trigonometric sums. Our proofs use a combination of tools from probability theory, harmonic analysis, and dynamical systems. References
