Starting from concentration of measure hypotheses on $m$ random vectors $Z_1,\ldots, Z_m$, this article provides an expression of the concentration of functionals $\phi(Z_1,\ldots, Z_m)$ where the variations of $\phi$ on each variable…

Upper bounds for the probabilities $\mathbb{P}(F\geq \mathbb{E} F + r)$ and $\mathbb{P}(F\leq \mathbb{E} F - r)$ are proved, where $F$ is a certain component count associated with a random geometric graph built over a Poisson point process…

We study the concentration of a degree-$d$ polynomial of the $N$ spins of a general Ising model, in the regime where single-site Glauber dynamics is contracting. For $d=1$, Gaussian concentration was shown by Marton (1996) and Samson (2000)…
