Abstract

The present volume contains the texts of the invited talks delivered at the Fifth International Conference on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories held in Oulu, Finland during the period 3-8 August 1987. The general format and style of the meeting followed closely those which had evolved from the earlier conferences in the series: Trieste 1978, Oaxtepec 1981, Altenberg 1983 and San Francisco 1985. Thus, the conferences in this series are in­ tended, as far as is practicable, to cover in a broad and balanced fashion both the entire spectrum of theoretical tools developed to tackle the quan­ tum many-body problem, and their major fields of· application. One of the major aims of the series is to foster the exchange of ideas and techniques among physicists working in such diverse areas of application of many-body theories as nucleon-nucleon interactions, nuclear physics, astronomy, atomic and molecular physics, quantum chemistry, quantum fluids and plasmas, and solid-state and condensed matter physics. A special feature of the present meeting however was that particular attention was paid in the programme to such topics of current interest in solid-state physics as high-temperature superconductors, heavy fermions, the quantum Hall effect, and disorder. A panel discussion was also organised during the conference, under the chair­ manship of N. W. Ashcroft, to consider the latest developments in the extreme­ ly rapidly growing field of high-T superconductors.

Quantum many-body theory as a discipline in its own right dates largely from the 1950's. It has developed since then to its current position as one of the cornerstones of modern theoretical physics. The field remains vibrant and active, vigorous and exciting. Indeed, its successes and importance were vividly illustrated prior to the conference by the sharing of the 1998 Nobel Prizes in both Physics and Chemistry by three many-body theorists. Two of those Nobel laureates, Walter Kohn and Bob Laughlin, delivered invited lectures at this meeting, the tenth in the series of International Conferences on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories. This series is universally recognized as being the premier series of meetings on this subject, and its proceedings have always summarized the current state of the art through the lectures of its leading practitioners. The present volume is no exception. A major aim of this conference series has been to foster the exchange of ideas between physicists working in all the diverse fields of application of quantum many-body theory. These include nuclear and subnuclear physics, quantum fluids, strongly correlated electronic systems, and low-dimensional condensed-matter systems and materials. All of these fields and others are represented in the present volume. Other topical themes covered include density functional theory and its applications to nuclear and electronic systems, quantum dots and chaos, and trapped Bose?Einstein condensates. Through this breadth of applications the reader will get a clear illustration of the power of the tools of modern microscopic quantum many-body theory, and their usefulness both in achieving a commonality of approach and understanding, and in transferring powerful ideas from one field to another.

Quantum many-body theory as a discipline in its own right dates largely from the 1950's. It has developed since then to its current position as one of the cornerstones of modern theoretical physics. The field remains vibrant and active, vigorous and exciting. Its most powerful techniques are truly universal. They are constantly expanding to find new fields of application, while advances continue to be made in the more traditional areas. To commemorate the impending 80th birthdays of its two co-inventors, Firtz Coester and Hermann K�mmel, one such technique, namely the coupled cluster method, was especially highlighted at this meeting, the eleventh in the series of International Conferences on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories. The history of the coupled cluster method as told here mirrors in many ways both the development of the entire discipline of microscopic quantum many-body theory and the history of the series of conferences. The series itself is universally recognised as being the premier series of meetings in this subject area. Its proceedings have always summarised the current state of the art through the lectures of its leading practitioners. The present volume is no exception. No serious researcher in quantum many-body theory or in any field which uses it can afford to be without this volume.

FOREWORD BY THE EDITORS

R. F. Bishop, Tobias Brandes, Klaus A. Gernoth +2 more

The Tenth International Conference on Recent Progess in Many-Body Theories was held at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA, over the period 1015 September 1999. During the meeting some 37 invited papers were presented orally, and approximately 65 contributed papers were given as posters. All of the invited speakers were requested to submit a paper for these Proceedings, and the Editors are grateful to the large majority, some 30, who were able to do so by the tight deadline imposed. Since the quality of the contributed papers was so high, the Editors have decided to include a selection of them in these Proceedings. Accordingly, we invited some 25 of the poster presenters to submit an article, and we have also incorporated these into the present volume. The Editors are extremely grateful to the rapporteurs of the two poster sessions, Sandy Fetter and John Negele, for their suggestions and advice in making the selection. However, the final decision on which contributed papers to include was made by the Editors, whose sole responsibility it remains. We are only too aware that, for reasons of space, we were obliged to omit many other interesting presented papers. We offer our apologies to the authors of those papers not selected, many of which were equally worthy of inclusion. In order to facilitate the usefulness of this book, related articles have been grouped by the Editors under a number of headings chosen by them. While these broadly reflect the themes of the conference sessions, we have not followed them exactly. In particular, the articles do not follow the same sequence as their presentation at the meeting. We are keenly aware that the classification scheme, and the grouping of the articles within it that we have adopted, are somewhat arbitrary. In particular, many articles would sit comfortably under more than one heading. The interested reader should not, therefore, follow the scheme too slavishly. Finally, we thank all of the contributors for the extremely high quality of the articles. We feel confident that the present volume will live up to the high standards set by earlier proceedings in this series.
