If βt is renormalized self-intersection local time for planar Brownian motion, we characterize when $\mathbb{E}e^{\gamma\beta_{1}}$ is finite or infinite in terms of the best constant of a Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality. We prove large deviation estimates for β1 and −β1. We establish lim sup and lim inf laws of the iterated logarithm for βt as t→∞.
