It provides a step-by-step description of the material which will benefit not only professors wishing to undertake a similar task, but also interested students. Additionally, the book provides a complete set of exercises on the various topics along with hints about how to solve them, a feature frequently absent in textbooks on many-body techniques. As well as addressing the traditional topics in the field (diagrammatic techniques, screening in metals, Fermi liquid theory, electron-phonon interactions, etc.) the text also covers less conventional topics such as the application of non-equilibrium Green function techniques to quantum transport in normal and superconducting nanoscale devices.UNITEXT for Physics,2198-7890Condensed matterParticles (Nuclear physics)Quantum field theoryCondensed Matter PhysicsStrongly Correlated SystemsElementary Particles, Quantum Field TheoryCondensed matter.Particles (Nuclear physics)Quantum field theory.Condensed Matter Physics.Strongly Correlated Systems.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.530.41Merino Jaime1742558Yeyati Alfredo Levy1742559MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910865259003321Many-Body Techniques in Condensed Matter Physics4169307UNINA
