Microcanonical distributions for lattice gases (Q803634)

From authors' abstract: A large deviation principle (cf. Theorem 1.3) for the empirical distribution functional is applied to prove a rather general version of Boltzmann's principle (cf. Theorem 3.5) for models with shift-invariant, finite range potentials. The final section contains an application of these considerations to the two-dimensional Ising model at sub-critical temperature.
