We prove a generalization of Sanov's theorem in which the state space S is arbitrary and the set of probability measures on S is endowed with the τ -topology.

Sanov's Theorem states that the sequence of empirical measures associated with a sequence of i.d.d. random variables satisfies the large deviation principle (LDP) in the weak topology with rate function given by a relative entropy. We present a derivative which allows one to establish LDPs for symmetric functions of many i.d.d. random variables under the condition that (i) a law of large numbers holds whatever the underlying distribution and (ii) the functions are uniformly Lipschitz. The heuristic (of the title) is that the LDP follows from (i) provided the functions are ‘sufficiently smooth’. As an application, we obtain large deviations results for the stochastic bin-packing problem.
