Large deviations for doubly indexed stochastic processes with applications to statistical mechanics

The theory of large deviations studies situations in which certain probabilities involving a given stochastic process decay to zero exponentially fast. One of the aims of this dissertation is to extend this theory to the setting in which the stochastic processes under consideration are indexed by tw...
