Quantum Statistical Mechanics Summary

Quantum Statistical Mechanics by Gordon Baym

This book is a very early systematic treatment of the application of the field-theoretical methods developed after the Second World War to the quantum mechanical many-body problem at finite temperature. It describes various techniques that remain basic tools of modern condensed matter physicists.
