Abstract
Among the various important contributions that Gabriele F. Giuliani made in the area of theoretical condensed matter physics, the large body of work (done over a period of a few decades) on the many-body aspects of the electron gas is certainly seminal and has been recognized (very rightly) with an APS fellowship. The present article is a perspective by his first PhD student and attempts to provide highlights of the work with hopefully appropriate references. The main contribution is a detailed analysis of the vertex corrections due to charge-density and spin-density fluctuations in the electron liquid; employing these results to a microscopic determination of the Landau Fermi liquid parameters.
