This comprehensive textbook on the quantum mechanics of identical
particles includes a wealth of valuable experimental data, in
particular recent results from direct knockout reactions directly
related to the single-particle propagator in many-body theory. The
comparison with data is incorporated from the start, making the
abstract concept of propagators vivid and accessible. Results of
numerical calculations using propagators or Green's functions are
also presented. The material has been thoroughly tested in the
classroom and the introductory chapters provide a seamless
connection with a one-year graduate course in quantum mechanics.
While the majority of books on many-body theory deal with the
subject from the viewpoint of condensed matter physics, this book
emphasizes finite systems as well and should be of considerable
interest to researchers in nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics.
A unified treatment of many different many-body systems is
presented using the approach of self-consistent Green's functions.
The second edition contains an extensive presentation of finite
temperature propagators and covers the technique to extract the
self-energy from experimental data as developed in the dispersive
optical model.The coverage proceeds systematically from elementary
concepts, such as second quantization and mean-field properties, to
a more advanced but self-contained presentation of the physics of
atoms, molecules, nuclei, nuclear and neutron matter, electron gas,
quantum liquids, atomic Bose-Einstein and fermion condensates, and
pairing correlations in finite and infinite systems, including
finite temperature.
