This book has two main topics: large deviations and equilibrium statistical mechanics. I hope to convince the reader that these topics have many points of contact and that in being treated together they enrich each other. Entropy in its various guises is their common core. The large deviation theory which is developed in this book focuses upon convergence properties of certain stochastic systems. We will treat a large class of stochastic systems which involve both indepen dent and dependent random variables and which have the following features: probabilities converge to zero exponentially fast as the size of the system increases; the exponential decay leads to strong convergence properties of the system. The most fascinating aspect of the theory is that the exponential decay rates are computable in terms of entropy functions. ; Grundlehren Der Mathematischen Wissenschaften: a Series of Comprehensive Studies in Mathematics; Vol. 271; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xiv 364 pages .
