The purpose of the present paper is to establish moderate deviation principles for a rather general class of random variables fulfilling certain bounds of the cumulants. We apply a celebrated lemma of the theory of large deviations probabilities due to Rudzkis, Saulis, and Statulevičius. The examples of random objects we treat include dependency graphs, subgraph-counting statistics in Erdös–Rényi random graphs and U-statistics. Moreover, we prove moderate deviation principles for certain statistics appearing in random matrix theory, namely characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices and the number of particles in a growing box of random determinantal point processes such as the number of eigenvalues in the GUE or the number of points in Airy, Bessel, and sine random point fields.
