The Green Function Method in Statistical Mechanics
The Green Function Method in Statistical Mechanics by V.L. Bonch-Bruevich is a reprint edition published by Courier Dover Publications on November 18, 2015. This 272-page monograph is written in English and is aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics. It explores techniques for solving many-body problems in physics through the quantum-mechanical Green function method, requiring a foundational understanding of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
Readers will find a comprehensive examination of the Green function method, beginning with its connection to the thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of physical systems. The book illustrates this method through various applications in the physics of condensed media, including topics such as electron plasmas in solids, electron-phonon interactions, and ferromagnetism at finite temperatures. Additionally, seven appendixes provide supplementary information to enhance understanding of the subject matter.
Official synopsis Publisher
This concise monograph is devoted to techniques of solving many-body problems in physics using the quantum-mechanical Green function method. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics, it requires some familiarity with the basic theory of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
Focusing on the general method, the treatment begins by establishing the connection between the Green functions and the thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of a system. Subsequent chapters illustrate the method and apply it to different problems in the physics of condensed media, including the theory of electron plasmas in solids, electron-phonon interactions, and ferromagnetism at finite temperatures. Seven helpful Appendixes offer supplementary information.
