Program
The course will address the physics of strongly correlated many-body systems and it will be centered around the solutions of the Hubbard model with a particular emphasis on the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition. In case of request, an extra 2-credit module can be activated.
The exam is a 30' seminar typically based on a few papers complementing the topic of the course
The timetable is not yet updated for the academic year 2024-2025, but the structure of the course is confirmed
