After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend the materials presented in the lecture and to draw conclusions from them, as well as to actively communicate the contents presented during the lecture.
First steps to many body physics, 2nd quantization (extra lecture?), many-body Green functions, self energy and quasi particles, Feynman diagrams, perturbation theory, linear response theory, vertex and susceptibilities, polarization and RPA screening. Current research topics such as DMFT.
The lecture will be held in presence (in English) on Thu. afternoon, 16:00-18:00 in Sem.R. DB gelb 03
The "Vorbesprechung" of all lectures of the Institute for solid state physics will be Tuesday 07.03.2023, 13-14 Uhr in FH HS6.

Exams: the exact dates for the oral examinations (in July and September) will be communicated before the end of the lecture.
Registration to the oral exam: Please send an email to both Prof. A. Toschi and Prof. K. Held, at least one week before the chosen exam date.
The subjects of the oral examination are all the topics discussed during the lectures (s. lecture notes for details), including the Introduction to DMFT.
