    About this ebook

    Lectures on the Many-Body Problem is a compilation of papers delivered at the Fifth International School of Physics, held at Ravello, Italy in April 1963. The book is devoted to the techniques of many-body theory, which are used in finding solutions to difficult problems encountered in solid-state physics. The text discusses such topics as the discontinuities in the drift velocity of ions in liquid helium; density fluctuation excitations in many-particle systems; tunneling from a many-particle point of view; the mathematics of second quantization for systems of fermions; and correlation functions and macroscopic equations. Theoretical physicists will find the monograph invaluable.

      Why should the future resemble the past? Well, for one thing, it always has. But that is itself an observation from the past. As the philosopher David Hume pointed out in the middle of the 18th century, we can’t use our experience in the past to argu

      Early in their training, many physics students come across the idea of spherical cows. Cows in the real world—even at their most plump and well-fed—are hardly spherical, and this makes it tricky to calculate things like, say, how their volume or surf
