Bose-Einstein condensation and liquid-gas transition are perhaps the two most famous examples of condensation in physical systems. Here, I will present a third, less known example of real-space condensation that is related to diverse aggregation phenomena such as coalescence in granular media, jamming in traffic and gelation in networks, to name a few. In particular, I will discuss a surprising link between the condensation transition and large deviation theory that describes the probability of rare events, a striking example being a bankruptcy of an insurance company due to a large claim.
