Presenting the physics of the most challenging problems in
condensed matter using the conceptual framework of quantum field
theory, this book is of great interest to physicists in condensed
matter and high energy and string theorists, as well as
mathematicians. Revised and updated, this second edition features
new chapters on the renormalization group, the Luttinger liquid,
gauge theory, topological fluids, topological insulators and
quantum entanglement. The book begins with the basic concepts and
tools, developing them gradually to bring readers to the issues
currently faced at the frontiers of research, such as topological
phases of matter, quantum and classical critical phenomena, quantum
Hall effects and superconductors. Other topics covered include
one-dimensional strongly correlated systems, quantum ordered and
disordered phases, topological structures in condensed matter and
in field theory and fractional statistics.
