For this we use logarithmic potential theory in R-n, n >= 2, and a standard contraction principle in large deviation theory which we apply from the two-dimensional sphere in R-3 to the complex plane C. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01266133/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01266133/file/1407.7481.pdf %L hal-01266133 %U https://hal.science/hal-01266133 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ INSMI %~ I2M %~ I2M-2014-
