Condensed Matter Theories

This series on Condensed Matter Theories provides a forum for advanced theoretical research in quantum many-body theory. The contributions are highly interdisciplinary, emphasizing common concerns among theorists applying many-particle methods in such diverse areas as solid-state, low-temperature, statistical, nuclear, particle, and biological physics, as well as in quantum field theory, quantum information and the theory of complex systems. The book is a comprehensive collection of many significant topics in the field of condensed matter theories. Each individual contribution is preceded by an extended introduction to the topic treated. Details not normally presented in journal articles can be found in this volume.
