Condensed Matter Field Theory 3rd Edition

Condensed Matter Field Theory 3rd Edition
Description:
The methods of quantum field theory have become essential tools in modern condensed matter physics and other related fields. Condensed Matter Field Theory, now in its third edition, provides a comprehensive and pedagogical introduction to quantum field theory in many-particle physics, focusing on real-world applications. This edition is structured in two key parts: the first part serves as an accessible introduction to the subject, preparing readers to engage with current research literature, covering topics from many-body techniques and functional integration to renormalization group methods.

The second part delves into advanced topics, including modern aspects of gauge theory, topological quantum matter, relativistic quantum phenomena, and non-equilibrium physics. Throughout the text, the book balances theoretical methods with practical application, making it an essential resource for students and researchers in condensed matter physics. Extended problems and worked solutions at the end of chapters guide readers through the transition from theory to research-oriented approaches.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive introduction to quantum field theory in many-particle physics.
• Emphasis on practical applications in real physical systems.
• Advanced topics such as gauge theory, topological quantum matter, and non-equilibrium physics.
• Worked examples and solutions bridge the gap between formal theory and research.
• Ideal for graduate students and researchers entering the field of condensed matter physics.

What Is Field Theory in Condensed Matter?
Field theory in condensed matter physics involves applying methods from quantum field theory to understand and describe the collective behavior of many-particle systems. It provides powerful tools for studying phenomena like phase transitions, magnetism, and superconductivity, offering a deeper understanding of how microscopic interactions give rise to macroscopic physical properties.
