{"product_id":"field-theory-of-condensed-matter-nicolas-dupuis-9781800613904","title":"Field Theory of Condensed Matter and Ultracold Gases - Volume 1","description":"This book provides a pedagogical introduction to the concepts and methods of quantum field theory necessary for the study of condensed matter and ultracold atomic gases. After a thorough discussion of the basic methods of field theory and many-body physics (functional integrals, perturbation theory, Feynman diagrams, correlation functions and linear response theory, symmetries and their consequences, etc.), the book covers a wide range of topics, from electron gas and Fermi-liquid theory to superfluidity and superconductivity, magnetic instabilities in electron systems, and dynamical mean-field theory of Mott transition. The focus is on the study of model Hamiltonians, where the microscopic physics and characteristic energy scales are encoded into a few effective parameters, rather than first-principle methods which start from a realistic Hamiltonian at the microscopic level and then make material-specific predictions. The reader is expected to be familiar with elementary quantum mechanics and statistical physics, and some acquaintance with condensed-matter physics and ultracold gases may also be useful. No prior knowledge of field theory or many-body problem is required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas Dupuis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800613903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800613904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Europe Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 1.44d","brand":"Nicolas Dupuis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44201674604799,"sku":"9781800613904","price":178.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5acf4753-94a7-43e6-9da2-dec11d96f8e5.jpg?v=1691490727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/field-theory-of-condensed-matter-nicolas-dupuis-9781800613904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
