This book is a rewritten and annotated version of Leo P. Kadanoff
and Gordon Baym's lectures that were presented in the book Quantum
Statistical Mechanics: Green's Function Methods in Equilibrium and
Nonequilibrium Problems. The lectures were devoted to a discussion
on the use of thermodynamic Green's functions in describing the
properties of many-particle systems. The functions provided a
method for discussing finite-temperature problems with no more
conceptual difficulty than ground-state problems, and the method
was equally applicable to boson and fermion systems and equilibrium
and nonequilibrium problems. The lectures also explained
nonequilibrium statistical physics in a systematic way and
contained essential concepts on statistical physics in terms of
Green's functions with sufficient and rigorous details. In-Gee Kim
thoroughly studied the lectures during one of his research projects
but found that the unspecialized method used to present them in the
form of a book reduced their readability. He started the tedious
work of rewriting and annotating them to fully understand the
formalism of nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics. While
doing so, he realized they can be a useful resource for students of
modern physics but will have to be upgraded to match pace with the
evolved curricula. Being aware that besides completing the course
work and passing the relevant examinations, it is necessary for
graduate students of modern physics to make the knowledge of a
topic concrete in their minds. This book is a systematically
prepared summary of those lectures and will be extremely useful for
graduate students as well as senior researchers to settle down the
key knowledge of the subject.
