Condensation for a fixed number of independent random variables
A family of m independent identically distributed random variables indexed by
a chemical potential \phi\in[0,\gamma] represents piles of particles. As \phi
increases to \gamma, the mean number of particles per site converges to a
maximal density \rho_c<\infty. The distribution of particles conditioned on the
total number of particles equal to n does not depend on \phi (canonical
ensemble). For fixed m, as n goes to infinity the canonical ensemble measure
behave as follows: removing the site with the maximal number of particles, the
distribution of particles in the remaining sites converges to the grand
canonical measure with density \rho_c; the remaining particles concentrate
(condensate) on a single site.Comment: 6 page
