SUMMARY:The 9th Jerusalem Winter School in Theoretical Physics: Correlated Electron Systems
DESCRIPTION:Correlated Electron Systems
The Victor Rothschild Memorial Symposia
All lectures will take place at the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies,
at the Edmond J. Safra, Givat Ram Campus
General Director: Steven Weinberg, University of Texas at Austin
 
The study of the correlated motion of electrons in solids is of increasing importance in condensed matter physics. In the past few years, the discovery of high-temperature superconductors has stimulated an enormous theoretical effort in this area, building on earlier theories of heavy-fermion and organic superconductors, and magnetic insulators. In a separate development the discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect stimulated research into the behavior of the two-dimensional electron gas in a strong transverse magnetic field.The lectures at this school will give a systematic presentation of the current status of the theory in these areas. They will cover the fractional quantum Hall effect and the many-body physics of the Hubbard model and its extensions, paying particular attention to the properties of doped insulators which are relevant for high-temperature superconductivity. We will discuss situations for which controlled calculations may be carried out -- specifically infinite dimensions, one dimension, and generalized models in which the fermions have N components and N → -.
