Large deviations for sequences that are not sums of iid

Suppose $(S_n)_n$ is a sequence of real random variables. Denote their cumulant generating functions by $K_n(t) = \log\mathbb{E}\left[\mathrm{e}^{t S_n}\right]$, and assume that each $K_n$ is finite f …

A generalized Ballot theorem

Let $\{X_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be i.i.d. real random variables with $\mathbb{E}[X_i] = \mu \in \mathbb{R}$. Let $S_n = X_1 + X_2 + \cdots + X_n$. Let $\nu \leq \mu$ be such that $\mathbb{P}[S_n < \ …
