Abstract: One of the main contributions of this paper is to illustrate how large deviation theory can be used to determine the equilibrium distribution of a basic droplet model that underlies a number of important models in material science and statistical mechanics. The model is simply defined. $K$ distinguishable particles are placed at random onto the $N$ sites of a lattice, where the ratio $K/N$, the average number of particles per site, equals a constant $cin(1,infty)$. We focus on configurations for which each site is occupied by at least one particle. The main result is the large deviation principle (LDP), in the limit where $Kightarrowinfty$ and $Nightarrowinfty$ with $K/N=c$, for a sequence of random, number-density measures, which are the empirical measures of dependent random variables that count the droplet sizes. The rate function in the LDP is the relative entropy $R(heta|h{o}^{\ast })$, where $heta$ is a possible asymptotic configuration of the number-density measures and $h{o}^{\ast }$ is a Poisson distribution restricted to the set of positive integers. This LDP reveals that $h{o}^{\ast }$ is the equilibrium distribution of the number-density measures, which in turn implies that $h{o}^{\ast }$ is the equilibrium distribution of the random variables that count the droplet sizes. We derive the LDP via a local large deviation estimate of the probability that the number-density measures equal $heta$ for any probability measure $heta$ in the range of these random measures.
