This seminar covers strongly-correlated many body physics, broadly defined:
concepts, methods, and realizations in condensed matter, nanoscopic systems,
ultracold quantum gases.

Topics
- Fermi liquid theory
- Electron-phonon coupling in condensed matter physics
- Quantum phase transitions and the transverse Ising model
- Spin-wave theory of the 2D Heisenberg model
- 1D integrable spin chains: Fermionization and Bethe ansatz solution
- Luttinger liquid theory
Literature
For the first two topics, see Ashcroft-Mermin for a very superficial introduction.
For quantum phase transitions, see Sachdev's book.
For Luttinger liquids, see Giamarchi's book.
For the other topics, please browse through the first chapters of Sandvik's review.
- Ashcroft / Mermin: Solid State Physics
- S. Sachdev: Quantum Phase Transitions
- T. Giamarchi: Quantum Physics in One Dimension
- A. Sandvik: arXiv:1101.3281
