A balanced combination of introductory and advanced topics provides
a new and unique perspective on the quantum field theory approach
to condensed matter physics. Beginning with the basics of these
subjects, such as static and vibrating lattices, independent and
interacting electrons, the functional formulation for fields and
different generating functionals and their roles, this book
presents a unified viewpoint illustrating the connections and
relationships among various physical concepts and mechanisms.
Advanced and newer topics bring the book up to date with current
developments and include sections on cuprate and pnictide
superconductors, graphene, Weyl semimetals, transition metal
dichalcogenides and topological insulators. Finally, well-known
subjects such as the quantum Hall effect, superconductivity, Mott
and Anderson insulators, and the Anderson-Higgs mechanism are
examined within a unifying QFT-CMP approach. Presenting new
insights on traditional topics, this text allows graduate students
and researchers to master the proper theoretical tools required in
a variety of condensed matter physics systems.
