2. Effective field theory
3. Renormalization and universality
4. Connection to cold-atom phenomenology
5. Many-body basics for fermions
6. Review of second quantization
7. Path integrals and many-body partition function
8. Perturbation theory, Feynman rules and applications
9. Superconductivity, BCS theory and Nambu-Gorkov formalism
10. Many-body methods for strongly interacting systems
Literature:
Will be provided in the lecture.
Preconditions:
