We obtain moderate deviation estimates for B_n - E B_n and E B_n- B_n, which are given in terms of the best constant of a certain Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality. We also prove the corresponding laws of the iterated logarithm.Probability60J55Moderate deviations and laws of the iterated logarithm for the renormalized self-intersection local times of planar random walkstext
