How many Laplace transforms of probability measures are there?

Abstract

A bracketing metric entropy bound for the class of Laplace transforms of probability measures on [0,\infty) is obtained through its connection with the small deviation probability of a smooth Gaussian process. Our results for the particular smooth Gaussian process seem to be of independent interest.
