书籍简介

阅读是一大乐趣。-今日物理

在现代物理学最丰富的领域中，多体理论在该学科的所有领域都产生了丰富的基本结果。不幸的是，这个主题是出了名的难，在这本书出版之前，这个主题的大多数处理方法都是普通的实验者或非专家理论家所不能达到的。

相比之下，目前的工作完全在非专家的掌握之中。它主要是作为自学书籍，介绍多体理论的一个方面，即费曼图的方法。这本书也适合作为固体和核物理课程的参考，这些课程利用了多体技术。最后，它可以作为多体课程的补充参考。

第1章到第6章介绍了场的主要概念，其中包括费曼图、准粒子和真空振幅。第7章到第16章给出了从戴森方程和阶梯近似到有限温度下费米系统和超导性的基本内容。附录总结了狄拉克形式主义，并包括图表规则的严格推导。每章的结尾都提供了问题，书的后面给出了解决方案。

在第二版中，前H. C .奥尔斯特德研究所和哥本哈根大学的马特塔克博士在许多章节中增加了一个新的部分，从数学上详细展示了如何用费曼图进行典型的多体计算。此外，还包括新的练习，其中一些练习让读者有机会自己进行更简单的多体计算。关于相变的量子场论的新篇章为多体问题的物理学提供了异常清晰、有用和信息丰富的指南。

A great delight to read. -- Physics Today

Among the most fertile areas of modern physics, many-body theory has produced a wealth of fundamental results in all areas of the discipline. Unfortunately the subject is notoriously difficult and, until the publication of this book, most treatments of the topic were inaccessible to the average experimenter or non-specialist theoretician.

The present work, by contrast, is well within the grasp of the nonexpert. It is intended primarily as a self-study book that introduces one aspect of many-body theory, i.e. the method of Feynman diagrams. The book also lends itself to use as a reference in courses on solid state and nuclear physics which make some use of the many-body techniques. And, finally, it can be used as a supplementary reference in a many-body course.

Chapters 1 through 6 provide an introduction to the major concepts of the field, among them Feynman diagrams, quasi-particles and vacuum amplitudes. Chapters 7 through 16 give basic coverage to topics ranging from Dyson's equation and the ladder approximation to Fermi systems at finite temperature and superconductivity. Appendixes summarize the Dirac formalism and include a rigorous derivation of the rules for diagrams. Problems are provided at the end of each chapter and solutions are given at the back of the book.

For this second edition, Dr. Mattuck, formerly of the H. C. Orsted Institute and the University of Copenhagen, added to many chapters a new section showing in mathematical detail how typical many-body calculations with Feynman diagrams are carried out. In addition, new exercises were included, some of which gave the reader the opportunity to carry out simpler many-body calculations himself. new chapter on the quantum field theory of phase transitions rounds out this unusually clear, helpful and informative guide to the physics of the many-body problem.
