A Large Deviation Principle (LDP) for the free energy of random Gibbs measures is proved in the form of a general LDP for random log-Laplace integrals. The principle is then applied to an extended version of the Random Energy Model (REM). The rate of exponential decay for the classical REM is stronger than the known concentration exponent, and probabilities of negative deviations are superexponentially small.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
