In many areas of physics, such as astrophysics, solid-state
physics, nuclear physics and particle physics, a major outstanding
problem is a better understanding of corre lation phenomena. While
in most cases the average properties of a system are rather well
understood, the correlations and the resulting clustering are
poorly understood. They are reflections of the force mediating the
interaction among the constituents and play essential roles in
determining the structure of a physical system. At the largest
scales, in astrophysics, it has recently been realized that there
are huge voids in space and almost all matter is concentrated on
filaments, raising interesting questions concerning the origin of
this clustering of matter. In nuclear physics corre lation
phenomena are important in all its subfields. It has been realized
that so-called fluctuations in the one-particle density, which are
a manifestation of nucleon-nucleon correlations, are crucial. These
are important for an understanding of heavy-ion reac tions. This is
the subject of modern quantum transport theories. Correlations are
also crucial in the description of the high momentum components as
observed in quasi-elastic knock-out reactions."
