Résumé

The application of field theoretic techniques to problems in condensed matter physics has generated an array of concepts and mathematical techniques to attack a range of problems such as the theory of quantum phase transitions, the quantum Hall effect and quantum wires. While concepts such as the renormalisation group, topology and bosonisation have become necessary tools for the condensed matter physicist, enough open problems and interesting applications remain that one expects to see much activity in this area in the coming years. This book, written by experts and carefully edited, provides a comprehensive survey of the concepts, techniques and applications of the field. The chapters, taken together, give the graduate student entering the area of modern condensed matter physics much of the necessary background. They also provide the field theorist a valuable introduction to those areas of condensed matter physics where field theoretic concepts can be fruitfully applied.
