Many-Particle PhysicsGerald D. MahanThird Edition 2000Label: Kluwer Academic/Plenum PublishersDescription: This comprehensive textbook utilizes Green's functions and the equations derived from them to solve real physical problems in solid-state theoretical physics. Green's functions are used to describe processes in solids and quantum fluids and to address problems in areas such as electron gas polarons electron transport optical response superconductivity and superfluidity. The updated third edition features several new chapters on different mean-free paths Hubbard model Coulomb blockade and the quantum Hall effect. This text should be of interest to third or fourth-year graduate students and includes numerous study problems and an extensive bibliography.
