Mathematics of quantum many-body systems

Various mathematical tools for the analysis of quantum many-body systems will be discussed. This is a continuation of the first half of the course taught in spring 2020.
Possible topics include the thermodynamic limit in quantum statistical mechanics, Hartree-Fock and other mean-field type approximations, and Bose-Einstein condensation.

Target group: Students and postdocs interested in Mathematical Physics.

Prerequisites: basic knowledge of functional analysis (L^p spaces, bounded linear operators, Fourier transform, etc.) and quantum mechanics, including Fock spaces and second quantization.

Evaluation: homework assignments

Teaching format: lectures and recitation
