Functional Limit Theorems for Random Least Common Multiples

Let $A_n$ be a subset of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ obtained by retaining each integer independently with fixed probability $\theta\in(0,1)$, and let $L_n$ be the least common multiple of the integers in $A_n$. We prove a functional large deviation principle, a functional moderate deviation principle, and a Strassen-type functional law of the iterated logarithm for the process $(\log L_{\lfloor{nt}\rfloor})_{0\le t\le1}$. The large deviation rate function is given by an entropy contraction for geometric marks, while the moderate deviation rate function and LIL cluster set are described by the reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated with the Gaussian limit process.
