Providing a broad review of many techniques and their application
to condensed matter systems, this book begins with a review of
thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, before moving onto real
and imaginary time path integrals and the link between Euclidean
quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. A detailed study of
the Ising, gauge-Ising and XY models is included. The
renormalization group is developed and applied to critical
phenomena, Fermi liquid theory and the renormalization of field
theories. Next, the book explores bosonization and its applications
to one-dimensional fermionic systems and the correlation functions
of homogeneous and random-bond Ising models. It concludes with
Bohm-Pines and Chern-Simons theories applied to the quantum Hall
effect. Introducing the reader to a variety of techniques, it opens
up vast areas of condensed matter theory for both graduate students
and researchers in theoretical, statistical and condensed matter
physics.
