Summary
The thermodynamic limit is a mathematical technique which allows us to consider crystals (or other macroscopic objects) as infinitely sized periodically arranged molecules. This means that we can derive models in solid state physics from models in quantum chemistry. Based on this technique, the book presents established as well as new mathematical results for a large class of models in quantum chemistry.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Indeed, while motivated by questions from physics or chemistry, in this book the focus is definitely on the mathematical aspects and methods of solving the problems studied. With this work, a significant step in the rigorous treatment of the thermodynamic limit is accomplished. A fine piece of mathematical physics presented by the original authors in a pedagogical way, in this sense the book is certainly an outstanding contribution to the literature.” - Mathematical Reviews
