Abstract


In this paper we present a new local Lévy Central Limit Theorem, showing convergence to stable states that are not necessarily the Gaussian, and use it to find new and intuitive entropically chaotic families with underlying one-particle function that has moments of order $2\alpha$, with $1<\alpha<2$. We also discuss a lower semi continuity result for the relative entropy with respect to our specific family of functions, and use it to show a form of stability property for entropic chaos in our settings.
