Probabilistic inequalities

Concentration inequality

In probability theory, concentration inequalities provide bounds on how a random variable deviates from some value (typically, its expected value). The law of large numbers of classical probability theory states that sums of independent random variables are, under very mild conditions, close to their expectation with a large probability. Such sums are the most basic examples of random variables concentrated around their mean. Recent results show that such behavior is shared by other functions of independent random variables. Concentration inequalities can be sorted according to how much information about the random variable is needed in order to use them. (Wikipedia).

Jean-René Chazottes: A brief introduction to concentration inequalities

$Let (X,T)$ be a dynamical system preserving a probability measure $\mu $. A concentration inequality quantifies how small is the probability for $F(x,Tx,\ldots,T^{n-1}x)$ to deviate from $\int F(x,Tx,\ldots,T^{n-1}x) \mathrm{d}\mu(x)$ by an given amount $u$, where $F:X^n\to\mathbb{R}$ is
