Homogeneous Boltzmann Equation in Quantum Relativistic Kinetic Theory
by M. Escobedo, S. Mischler, M.A. Valle
Publisher: American Mathematical Society 2003
Number of pages: 85
Description:
We consider some mathematical questions about Boltzmann equations for quantum particles, relativistic or non relativistic. Relevant particular cases such as Bose, Bose-Fermi, and photon-electron gases are studied. We also consider some simplifications such as the isotropy of the distribution functions and the asymptotic limits.

A Basic Introduction to Large Deviations: Theory, Applications, Simulationsby Hugo Touchette - arXiv
The theory of large deviations deals with the probabilities of rare events that are exponentially small as a function of some parameter, e.g., the number of random components of a system or the time over which a stochastic system is observed.
