The course intends to offer an introduction to the methods of field theory applied to the study of many-body systems of Matter Physics, in particular the theoretical study of quantum phenomena that characterize matter at low temperatures such as superfluidity and superconductivity is developed

Type of delivery of the course
The lessons involve the detailed presentation of mathematical-formal developments and therefore the blackboard is used in a systematic way (or other digital instrument of equal effectiveness).Type of evaluation
The final exam tends to understand whether the student has achieved a reasonable understanding of the topics. On the one hand, it is necessary to check that he has a general understanding of the various parts of the course and that he knows how to connect them together. For this reason, the oral exam consists partly of questions aimed at ascertaining these aspects without going into the details of the formalism and partly of questions in which you are asked to set the calculation of a specific physical effect. The evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.
