Introduction to Many-Body Physics van Piers Coleman is an English-language textbook aimed at graduate students in condensed matter physics. The book provides a thorough introduction to many-body physics with a focus on concepts and methods within condensed matter.
It covers fundamental topics such as quantum field theory, Feynman diagrams, Green’s functions, and systems at finite temperature. In addition, special chapters focus on Fermi-liquid theory, broken symmetry, transport in disordered systems, superconductivity, and local magnetic moments.
With a theoretical approach and numerous exercises, this book is suitable for researchers and students who seek a deep understanding of many-body physics and condensed matter.
This textbook aligns with the fields of Physics and Science & Mathematics, and is intended for graduate students who want to further specialize in the complex behavior of quantum fluids within condensed matter physics.
