New probability distribution describing emergence in state space

Abstract

We revisit the pairing model of state spaces with new emergent states introduced in (J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 51 375 002, 2018). We facilitate our analysis by introducing a simplified pairing model consisting of balls able to form pairs but without any internal structure. For both the simplified and the original model we compute exactly the probability distribution for observing a state with n p pairs. We show this distribution satisfies a large deviation principle with speed n ln ( n ) . We present closed form expressions for a variety of statistical quantities including moments and marginal distributions.
