This is a new book, devoted to quantum Hierarchic theory of condensed matter, general for liquids and solids, developed by this author during 20 years and its numerous applications. Computer program, . . . . .
We introduce the theoretical framework we use to study the bewildering variety of phases in condensed--matter physics. We emphasize the importance of the breaking of symmetries, and develop the idea o . . . . .
Effective theories of quantum liquids (superconductors and superfluids of various types) are derived starting from microscopic models at the absolute zero of temperature. Special care is taken to assu . . . . .
These notes constitute the introduction to potential theory I exposed at the XIIth brazilian school of probability inside Elisabetta Scoppola\\\'s Introduction to Metastability.
