Synopsis

This self-contained introduction addresses the novel flow equation approach for many particle systems and provides an up-to-date review of the subject. The text first discusses the general ideas and concepts of the flow equation method, and then in a second part illustrates them with various applications in condensed matter theory. The third and last part of the book contains an outlook with current perspectives for future research.

From the Back Cover

This self-contained monograph addresses the flow equation approach to many-particle systems. The flow equation approach consists of a sequence of infinitesimal unitary transformations and is conceptually similar to renormalization and scaling methods. Flow equations provide a framework for analyzing Hamiltonian systems where these conventional many-body techniques fail. The text first discusses the general ideas and concepts of the flow equation method. In a second part these concepts are illustrated with various applications in condensed matter theory including strong-coupling problems and non-equilibrium systems. The monograph is accessible to readers familiar with graduate- level solid-state theory.
