    (Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2009) Foss, Sergey; Korshunov, Dmitry; Zachary, Stan
    This text studies heavy-tailed distributions in probability theory, and especially convolutions of such distributions. The mail goal is to provide a complete and comprehensive introduction to the theory of long-tailed and subexponential distributions which includes many novel elements and, in particular, is based on the regular use of the principle of a single big jump.
