Concentration inequalities for functions of Gibbs fields with application to diffraction and random Gibbs measures (Q1404743)

General concentration inequalities for functions of Gibbs fields in the Dobrushin uniqueness regime are derived. Expectations of random Gibbs measures that depend on an additional disorder field are considered and a concentration w.r.t. the disorder field is proved. Both fields are assumed to be in the uniquenss regime, allowing in particular for non-independent disorder fields. The modification of the bounds compared to the case of an independent field can be expressed in terms of constants that resemble the Dobrushin contraction coefficient, and are explicitly computable. It is shown how these estimates can be applied to the analysis of the self-averaging properties of random diffraction measures of general point sets \(\Gamma\) in Euclidean space. Also a random distribution for the scattering amplitudes is considered. A universal upper bound on the probability of a deviation of the random scattering measures from its mean applied to an observable is given. The bound depends on the point set \(\Gamma\) only through the minimal distance between its points.
