Sommario/riassunto

Dealing with Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT), this book develops the formalism of many-body Green's functions using the equation of motion approach, which requires an undergraduate solid state physics course and a graduate quantum mechanics course as prerequisites. It also emphasizes how to carry out numerical calculations.
