Prerequisites:
Quantum Mechanics. Analysis, including complex functions. Basic statistics. Basic solid state physics. Fourier transforms and their properties. Ability of writing small codes in a language of choice.
Learning goals:
The aim of the lecture is introducing students to modern many-body techniques, in particular the dynamical mean field theory.
Many-body physics is complex. I recommend to attend if you are indeed interested in learning the subject :).
