Description of  A Course in Quantum Many-Body Theory: From Conventional Fermi Liquids to Strongly Correlated Systems (Graduate Texts in Physics)

3031163044 pdf This textbook presents various methods to deal with quantum many-body systems, mainly addressing interacting electrons. It focusses on basic tools to tackle quantum effects in macroscopic systems of interacting particles, and on fundamental concepts to interpret the behavior of such systems as revealed by experiments. The textbook starts from simple concepts like second quantization, which allows one to include the indistinguishability and statistics of particles in a rather simple framework, and linear response theory. Then, it gradually moves towards more technical and advanced subjects, including recent developments in the field. The diagrammatic technique is comprehensively discussed. Some of the advanced topics include Landaus Fermi liquid theory, Luttinger liquids, the Kondo effect, and the Mott transition. Read more
