Large deviations for cluster size distributions in a continuous classical many-body system (Q2341635)

The authors consider systems of \(N\) interacting particles in a box contained in \(\mathbb R^d\) with interaction energy involving pair potentials of Lennard-Jones type, which satisfy some conditions. The first main result is a large deviations principle for the cluster size distribution under the Gibbs measure. The second main result is the \(\Gamma\)-convergence of the rate function towards an explicit limiting rate function in the low-temperature dilute (under some special assumptions).
