Abstract

The ultimate goal of the theoretician in studying a particular phenomenon is to produce a quantitative microscopic theory from which one can calculate anything. That goal has been pretty well achieved in superconductivity. We are still struggling with the theory of charge density waves. The way that one progresses in solid state physics is to compute the properties of a theoretical model, compare the predictions with experiment, and modify the model when it fails. I want to discuss one iteration of this process today.
