Abstract
This paper is devoted to investigating the Freidlin–Wentzell’s large deviation principle for a class of McKean–Vlasov quasilinear SPDEs perturbed by small multiplicative noise. We adopt the variational framework and the modified weak convergence criteria to prove the Laplace principle for McKean–Vlasov type SPDEs, which is equivalent to the large deviation principle. Moreover, we do not assume any compactness condition of embedding in the Gelfand triple to handle both the cases of bounded and unbounded domains in applications. The main results can be applied to various McKean–Vlasov type SPDEs such as distribution dependent stochastic porous media type equations and stochastic p-Laplace type equations.
