Many-body theories of condensed phases of 4He and normal 3He

  • Published:
Journal of Low Temperature Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

An introduction is given to the microscopic theories of liquid and solid 4He and of 3He in the normal liquid phase. The emphasis is on the variational theory of the ground state and of the excited states of the system. The role of two body, three body and higher order correlations is discussed also in relation to the recently introduced shadow wave function.
