Abstract

Perhaps one of the most interesting and fruitful applications of ergodic optimization theory occurs in the study of freezing phenomena in equilibrium statistical mechanics. In this concluding chapter, we provide a first glimpse of such a rich interaction among theories, by scrutinizing with basic techniques the convergence of equilibrium states to a particular maximizing probability on certain examples.
