Authors:
- Uses the traditional mathematical formalism of quasiparticles and Green`s functions.
- Covers all the important diagram techniques for normal and superconducting systems, including the zero-temperature perturbation theory, and the Matsubara, Keldysh, and Nambu-Gorov formalisms. Presents enough detail to enable the reader to follow the current research literature or to apply the techniques to new problems. Includes many of the examples drawn from mesoscopic physics, which provides an ideal testing ground for many-body theories. Includes applications of the techniques. Problems at the end of each chapter help to guide learning and illustrate the applications.
