The big idea
• We use general techniques such as;– Large deviations and entropy methods.
• To help our understanding of;– condensation in non equilibrium statistical
mechanics.
• Demonstrate methods– by application to a simple toy model.

Motivation
• What is condensation & why do we care?

Stationary measuresGrand canonical
• A family of stationary product measures
Single site weights:

Stationary measuresCanonical
• Dynamics conserve total number of particles• Fixed L and N the system is irreducible and
finite state so ergodic.

Remarks
• We have developed a general approach to studying the condensation transition.
• Very useful methods for calculating lifetimes of states using simple current and entropy calculations.
• The large deviation results are helpful in understanding the dynamics.
• Size Dependent systems help us to understand finite size effects in non-size dependent systems.
