Overview

The contributions in this book give a high-level coverage of many of the subjects and techniques needed to understand the physics of low-dimensional condensed matter systems. The topics presented include the use of conformal field theories, the Luttinger liquid approach to one-dimensional electron systems, and the use of random matrices in problems connected with quantum chaos. The contributions are authored by some of the most prominent physicists active in the field, among them the 1998 Nobel Prize laureate R. B. Laughlin. The book should become an extremely useful instrument for all those interested in theoretical condensed matter physics.

Reviews

If you are a researcher in theoretical physics with a background in field theory and condensed matter physics, you will find this book a delight. It contains what a good book should offer: the right insight presented by person with taste for relevance!In my opinion, even if one knows the subject, it pays to have a look at the book since one can find the personal touch of people who made major contributions to the subject. -Vladimir Rittenberg Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Melbourne
