Large deviation principle for empirical fields of log and Riesz gases (Q1689495)

The present paper is devoted to the study a system of \(N\) particles with logarithmic, Coulomb or Riesz pairwise interactions, confined by an external potential. The authors are interested in investigating a microscopic quantity, the tagged empirical field, for which they establish a large deviation principle at speed \(N\). The rate function is found as well. Moreover, a variational property of the sine-beta processes is obtained which arise in random matrix theory. A next-to-leading order expansion of the free energy of the system is found which allows to show the existence of the thermodynamic limit.
