Abstract

We consider high temperature KMS states for quantum spin systems on a lattice. We prove a large deviation principle for the distribution of empirical averages \overline{X}_{\varLambda} :=\frac{1}{|\varLambda|} \sum_{i\in\varLambda} X_i, where the Xi’s are copies of a self-adjoint element X (level one large deviations). From the analyticity of the generating function, we obtain the central limit theorem. We generalize to a level two large deviation principle for the distribution of \frac{1}{|\la|}\sum_{i\in\la} \delta_{X_i}
