On concentration inequalities and their applications for Gibbs measures   in lattice systems
  We consider Gibbs measures on the configuration space $S^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$, where mostly $d\geq 2$ and $S$ is a finite set. We start by a short review on concentration inequalities for Gibbs measures. In the Dobrushin uniqueness regime, we have a Gaussian concentration bound, whereas in the Ising model (and related models) at sufficiently low temperature, we control all moments and have a stretched-exponential concentration bound. We then give several applications of these inequalities whereby we obtain various new results. Amongst these applications, we get bounds on the speed of convergence of the empirical measure in the sense of Kantorovich distance, fluctuation bounds in the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem, fluctuation bounds for the first occurrence of a pattern, as well as almost-sure central limit theorems.
