Book excerpt: This book addresses present problems and looks towards the future development of new ideas in the field. The series of lectures places emphasis on the theoretical development of high Tc superconducting oxide materials. Contributions include an introduction to strongly correlated systems, the basic concepts of the Mott insulator, the fractional quantum Hall effect and a review of the current thoughts on resonating valence bonds. Research techniques such as variational Monte Carlo methods, mean field theories and topological excitations are also covered. The book will be of general interest and value to graduate students and researchers involved in the study of condensed matter theory.
