Presentation of the basic theoretical formulation of Green's functions, followed by specific applications: transport coefficients of a metal, Coulomb gas, Fermi

In this edition the second and main part of the book has been considerably expanded as to cover important applications of the formalism. In Chap.5 a section was

This book shows how the analytic properties in the complex energy plane of the Green's functions of many particle systems account for the physical effects (leve

The book is an introduction to quantum field theory applied to condensed matter physics. The topics cover modern applications in electron systems and electronic

This primer is aimed at elevating graduate students of condensed matter theory to a level where they can engage in independent research. Topics covered include
