Many Body Problems

Publisher

Abstract

G E Brown Amsterdam: North Holland 1972 pp 232 price Dfl40, $12.50 Gerry Brown's latest contribution to the entertainment of physicists has arisen out of lectures given in Copenhagen, Princeton and Stony Brook over the past 12 years. Preliminary versions of the book have been available for several years in the form of Nordita lecture notes and have been of great value to graduate students and research workers in the field of many body physics.

Many Electron Theory

Mark C. Jones

S Raimes Amsterdam: North-Holland 1972 pp xi + 272 price $20·25 The author's rationale for this book is that there exists a gap between such undergraduate texts on solid state physics as his own Wave Mechanics of Electrons in Metals and the many body formulation of graphs and Green's functions used in more advanced treatises and research papers. This is not entirely true; Kittel's Quantum Theory of Solids, Mattuck's Guide to Feynman Diagrams in the Many Body Problem, Zinan's Elements of Advanced Quantum Theory and Fetter and Welecka's Quantum Theory of Many Particle Systems among others, have, to judge by their author's forewords, been aimed at filling the same gap – not without some success.

The Many Body Problem

Roger Arthur Cowley

W E Parry London: Oxford University Press 1973 pp x + 213 price £6.25 The techniques which have been developed to describe the many body problem are now widely used in the theory of condensed matter and of nuclear and atomic structure. Because of this it is becoming increasingly important for both experimental and theoretical physicists in these fields to be familiar with these techniques.

Quantum Mechanics of Many Body Systems

Sam F Edwards

D J Thouless New York: Academic 1972 pp xi + 242 price $13.50 This is the second edition of a text which has gained wide acceptance by workers in its field. It is an introduction to the subject rather than a comprehensive treatise and indeed the latter would be a near impossibility since many body theory now encompasses the greater part of theoretical physics outside the high energy region.

Many-Body Problems

W. H. Young

W E Turner et al. New York: Benjamin 1969 pp vii + 265, price £2 The Institute of Physics and The Physical Society has decided to have republished selected articles, with a common theme, from Reports on Progress in Physics . The present volume on many-body problems is such a venture and contains reviews entitled 'Green functions in statistical mechanics' (Parry and Turner 1964), 'Theory and applications of the density matrix' (ter Haar 1961), 'The equation of state of dense systems' (Rowlinson 1965), 'The theory of irreversible processes' (Chester 1963), 'Quantum theory of many-body systems' (Hugenholtz 1965) and 'The fluctuation-dissipation theorem' (Kubo 1966).

Introduction to the Physics of Many-Body Systems

A W Gillies

By D. ter Haar London: Interscience Publishers, Ltd. Pp. viii + 127. Price 30s. This book surveys the methods which have been applied in the discussion of many-body problems in physics. After an introduction in which the basic ideas are reviewed, Part I deals with methods which try to reduce the problem to one of free particles, while Part II gives a more extensive discussion of recent work on collective behaviour theories, particularly that of Tomonaga and its developments.
