Collective Classical and Quantum Fields: In Plasmas, Superconductors, Superfluid 3he, and Liquid Crystals

by Hagen Kleinert

Book Overview

This is an introductory book dealing with collective phenomena in many-body systems. A gas of bosons or fermions can show oscillations of various types of density. These are described by different combinations of field variables. Especially delicate is the competition of these variables. In superfluid 3He, for example, the atoms can be attracted to each other by molecular forces, whereas they are repelled from each other at short distance due to a...
