SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for advanced probability theory books, specifically for someone with a background in theoretical physics. A notable suggestion is "Chung's book," which is recognized for its comprehensive treatment of characteristic functions and their applications. However, it is essential to have a foundational understanding of measure theory to fully grasp the content. The user explicitly prefers minimal emphasis on statistical applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of measure theory
  • Familiarity with characteristic functions
  • Background in theoretical physics
  • Basic knowledge of probability theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Chung's book on probability theory" for advanced concepts
  • Study measure theory to prepare for advanced probability topics
  • Explore characteristic functions and their applications in theoretical physics
  • Investigate other advanced probability theory texts with minimal statistical focus
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, advanced students of probability theory, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of probability with a focus on characteristic functions.

i am working on theoretical physics

i hope i can get a book on probability theory

i hope this book is a bit advanced to have detailed discussion of characteristic functions and their applications.

i do not like the statistics applications. I hope that part is as small as possible.

Thanks!

Depends on your background. Chung's book is good, but you need to know some measure theory.
