Riassunto
This second edition of a classic work has been considerably expanded and revised, now with complete proofs of all results, including several new theorems not included in the first edition, such as Talagrand's generic chaining approach to boundedness of Gaussian processes and Giné and Zinn's characterization of uniform Donsker classes.
