The development of the supersymmetry technique has led to
significant advances in the study of disordered metals and
semiconductors. Proven of great use in the analysis of modern
mesoscopic quantum devices, the technique has also found
applications in other areas, such as localization and quantum
chaos. This volume provides comprehensive treatment of the ideas
and uses of supersymmetry. The first four chapters set out the
basic results and some straightforward applications of the
technique. Thereafter, Professor Efetov covers a range of topics in
detail, including random matrix theory, persistent currents in
mesoscopic rings, transport in mesoscopic devices, localization in
quantum wires and films, and the quantum Hall effect. Special
features include problems and solutions drawn from mesoscopics,
localization, and quantum chaos, and extended introductions that
make each chapter self-contained. The text will be of great
interest to graduate students and researchers in condensed matter,
statistical, and mathematical physics and in quantum chaos.
