Anton Bovier, Veronique Gayrard, Pierre Picco Large deviation principles for the Hopfield model and the Kac-Hopfield model (367K, Ps) ABSTRACT. We study the Kac version of he Hopfield model and prove a Lebowitz-Penrose theorem for the distribution of the overlap parameters. At the same time, we prove a large deviation principle for the standard Hopfield model with infinitely many patterns.
