This comprehensive textbook utilizes Greens functions and the equationsderived from them to solve real physical problems in solidstate theoreticalphysics. Greens functions are used to describe processes in solids and quantumfluids and to address problems in areas such as electron gas polaronselectron transport optical response superconductivity and superfluidity. Theupdated third edition features several new chapters on different meanfreepaths Hubbard model Coulomb blockade and the quantum Hall effect. Newsections have been added while original sections have been modified to includerecent applications. This text is ideal for third or fourthyear graduatestudents and includes numerous study problems and an extensive bibliography. «
