{"product_id":"condensed-matter-field-theory-9781108494601","title":"Condensed Matter Field Theory","description":"The methods of quantum field theory underpin many conceptual advances in contemporary condensed matter physics and neighbouring fields. This book provides a praxis-oriented and pedagogical introduction to quantum field theory in many-particle physics, emphasizing the application of theory to real physical systems. This third edition is organized into two parts: the first half of the text presents a streamlined introduction, elevating readers to a level where they can engage with contemporary research literature, from the introduction of many-body techniques and functional integration to renormalization group methods, and the second half addresses a range of advanced topics including modern aspects of gauge theory, topological and relativistic quantum matter, and condensed matter physics out of thermal equilibrium. At all stages, the text seeks a balance between methodological aspects of quantum field theory and practical applications. Extended problems with worked solutions provide a bridge between formal theory and a research-oriented approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Altland,Ben Simons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.08h x 7.01w x 1.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108494601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e3rd Revised Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45011371557001,"sku":"9781108494601","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a8344611-4684-469e-9648-dca923b6ea20.jpg?v=1764744798","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/condensed-matter-field-theory-9781108494601","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
