It is shown that these familiar Green's functions are a powerful tool for obtaining relatively simple and general solutions of basic problems such as scattering and bound-level information. The bound-level treatment gives a clear physical understanding of "difficult" questions such as superconductivity, the Kondo effect, and, to a lesser degree, disorder-induced localization. The more advanced subject of many-body Green's functions is presented in the last part of the book UR - https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/3-540-28841-4 UR - https://extras.springer.com/?query=978-3-540-28838-1 UR - https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/3-540-28841-4#toc ER -
