Advanced condensed matter physics book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying advanced books in condensed matter physics that provide detailed notation explanations. It emphasizes that condensed matter physics is a vast field, making it challenging for any single book to cover all aspects at an advanced level. Key recommendations include "Introduction to Many-Body Physics" by Coleman, which serves as a foundational text, and "Condensed Matter Field Theory" by Altland and Simons, noted for its comprehensive treatment of many-electron theory, including the use of creation and annihilation operators.

what are the good books on advanced condensed matter physics with detail notation explained?

be more specific, condensed matter physics is a huge subject area and no one book covers it all at an advanced level.

Coleman "Introduction to Many-Body Physics" may be a good place to start.

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
