Abstract

The theory of Green's functions is briefly reviewed. It is discussed which properties of a quantum system and which physical processes can be described by Green's functions. A general approximation scheme to evaluate Green's functions and propagators is presented. Particular attention is paid to the one-particle Green's function and to the particle–particle propagator which is a relevant component of the two-particle Green's function. Several illustrative applications are presented and related to experiment.
