Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is an approachable introduction to the important topics and recent developments in the field of condensed matter physics. First, the general language of quantum field theory is developed in a way appropriate for dealing with systems having a large number of degrees of freedom. This paves the way for a description of the basic processes in such systems. Applications include various aspects of superfluidity and superconductivity, as well as a detailed description of the fractional quantum Hall liquid.

Table of Contents

Quantum Mechanics and Fundamentals of Quantum Field Theory.- Path Integral Quantization.- Broken Symmetry and Phase Transition.- Some Applications - Warming Ups.- Superconductivity.- Quantum Hall Liquids and Chern--Simons Gauge Field.- Appendix.
