Concentration is an important property of independent random variable, showing that any reasonable function of such variables does not vary a lot around its mean. Observables generated by the iteration of a chaotic enough dynamical system often share a lot of properties with independent random variables. In this survey talk, we discuss several situations where one can prove concentration for them, in uniformly or non-uniformly hyperbolic situations. We also explain why such a property is important to answer relevant geometric or dynamical questions. concentration - martingales - dynamical systems - Young towers - uniform hyperbolicity - moment bounds
