Basic Syllabus
The syllabus for this course consists of the lecture notes on the webpage, weekly exercises and 3 projects which are marked. The final mark is based on the average of these three projects.
The recommended textbook is E.K.U. Gross, E. Runge and O. Heinonen, Many-particle theory, see this link
The relevant chapters are 1-10, 14-27. Much of the material is also covered by the textbook of Raimes, see the lecture link. The relevant chapters are 1-3, 5-11.
Additional literature
In addition to the text of Gross, Runge and Heinonen, we recommend the text of Raimes. This text is out of print and can be found at the webpage under the lecture link. Another textbook which is out print (also included under the same link) is Mahan's text. This text has however a much stronger focus on applications. Finally, the first version of the recent text of Dickhoff and Van Neck is also available under the same link. This text has a focus on Green's functions only. Other good texts are Fetter and Waleca, Quantum theory of many-particle systems, Blaizot and Ripka's Quantum theory of finite systems and finally Negele and Orland's text on Many-body physics. The lectures follow closely Gross, Runge and Heinonen and the text of Raimes.
There is also additional material under the lecture notes link that covers coupled-cluster theory and density functional theory.
