6 Peculiarities of Interacting Many-Particle Systems
7 Interacting many-particle systems Elementary ( bare ) particles + fundamental interactions # particles N effective ( quasi ) particles + effective interactions
8 Non-interacting electrons Spin = 1 2 Fermion N, Pauli exclusion principle Fermi-Dirac statistics Ground state: Fermi body/surface
9 Fermi gas: Ground state k z Fermi surface k y k x Fermi sphere
10 Fermi gas: Excited state k z Particle Fermi surface Hole k y k x Fermi sphere k-eigenstates: infinite life time Switch on repulsive interaction unsolvable many-body problem
11 Fermi liquid Standard model of condensed matter physics Fermi surface k z (Quasi-) Hole Landau (1956/58) 1-1 correspondence between one-particle states (k,σ) (Quasi-) Particle = elementary excitation k y k x Fermi sphere Well-defined k-states ("quasiparticles") with - finite life time - effective mass m* - effective interaction

17 Die Festkörperphysik ist eine Schmutzphysik (Pauli) One shouldn t wallow in dirt (Pauli to Peierls, 1929) Fe 3 O 4 but dirt physics can be fundamental and universal Magnetic impurity coupled (J) to non-interacting (mobile) electrons J J T>T K (high energies) Asymptotically free local moment T<T K (low energies) Screening of moment (confinement) Kondo effect K F 1/ F T Ee Λ J ( ) N( E ) Prototypical interaction problem with running coupling constant J(Λ) QED, QCD
18 Interacting many-particle systems # particles N Entirely new phenomena, e.g., phase transitions Unpredicted behavior emerges We used to think that if we knew one, we knew two, because one and one are two. We are finding out that we must learn a great deal more about 'and'. Eddington ( ) More is different Anderson (1972)
19 Interacting many-particle systems # particles N Entirely new phenomena, e.g., phase transitions Unpredicted behavior emerges Examples: Superconductivity Magnetism Metal-insulator transition Traffic Weather Stock market
20 Interacting many-particle systems # particles N Entirely new phenomena, e.g., phase transitions Fe 3 O 4 Metal-insulator transition Why? Strong repulsion between electrons: Correlation effect
21 Correlations
22 Correlation [lat.]: con + relatio ("with relation") Correlations in mathematics, natural sciences: AB A B e.g., densities: n( r) n( r') n( r) n( r') = n 2 Definition of Correlations (I): Effects beyond factorization approximations (e.g., Hartree-Fock)
23 Temporal/spatial correlations in everyday life Correlation effect?
24 Temporal/spatial correlations in everyday life But: External periodic potential long-range order enforced no genuine correlation effect
25 Temporal/spatial correlations in everyday life Strong correlations! Time/space average (Hartree approximation) inappropriate
