Opis

This book presents a self-contained account of the exact solution of the Hubbard model in one dimension. The description of solids at a microscopic level is complex, involving the interaction of a huge number of its constituents. It is impossible to solve the corresponding many-body problems, although insight can be gained from analysis of simplified models. An important example is the Hubbard model, which describes interacting electrons in narrow energy bands and which has been applied to a diverse range of problems.

Recenzje

"The joint expertise of the authors on the subject is formidable. The influence of their intimate familiarity with the material is visible throughout the book. The bibliography is extensive and will be a useful tool for those interested in the original publications. Short of asking an expert, there is no better way to access the huge body of work accumulated over decades by a large number of authors. Every physics and chemistry library should have a copy of this book, and many individual researchers want to have a copy on their shelves, too."
