Abstract
The aim of these lectures is to give an introduction to some recent developments in probability theory which, besides having an independent interest, seem to provide a very effective tool in view of a mathematically rigorous description of critical phenomena. What is involved is the construction of a systematic theory of limit distributions for sums of “strongly dependent” random variables. The notion of strong dependence will be made precise later. For the moment, as a working definition, we take it to mean that the central limit theorem is not valid.
