Bosonization of Interacting Fermions in Arbitrary Dimensions
Kopietz, Peter.
Bosonization of Interacting Fermions in Arbitrary Dimensions [electronic resource] / by Peter Kopietz. - XII, 259 p. 3 illus. online resource. - Lecture Notes in Physics Monographs, 48 0940-7677 ; . - Lecture Notes in Physics Monographs, 48 .
Development of the formalism -- Fermions and the Fermi surface -- Hubbard-Stratonovich transformations -- Bosonization of the Hamiltonian and the density-density correlation function -- The single-particle Green’s function -- Applications to physical systems -- Singular interactions (f q ? |q|?? ) -- Quasi-one-dimensional metals -- Electron-phonon interactions -- Fermions in a stochastic medium -- Transverse gauge fields.
The author presents in detail a new non-perturbative approach to the fermionic many-body problem, improving the bosonization technique and generalizing it to dimensions d>1 via functional integration and Hubbard--Stratonovich transformations. In Part I he clearly illustrates the approximations and limitations inherent in higher-dimensional bosonization and derives the precise relation with diagrammatic perturbation theory. He shows how the non-linear terms in the energy dispersion can be systematically included into bosonization in arbitrary d, so that in d>1 the curvature of the Fermi surface can be taken into account. Part II gives applications to problems of physical interest, such as coupled metallic chains, electron-phonon interactions, disordered electrons, and electrons coupled to transverse gauge fields. The book addresses researchers and graduate students in theoretical condensed matter physics.
