Small Ball Estimates for Gaussian Processes under Sobolev Type Norms

A sharp small ball estimate under Sobolev type norms is obtained for certain Gaussian processes in general and for fractional Brownian motions in particular. New method using the techniques in large deviation theory is developed for small ball estimates. As an application the Chung's LIL for fractional Brownian motions is given in this setting.
