Why is the Wick contraction in HFB or BCS equal to a single-particle density?
I'm trying to understand how in Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov
(HFB) or BCS theory we can write a product of creation/annihilation operators as single-particle densities under the guise of "Wick's theorem".

Why do Fermi liquids have T^2 resistivity?
I have often read that metals that are Fermi liquids should have a resistivity that varies with temperature like $\rho(T) = \rho(0) + a T^2 $.
I guess the $T^2$ part is the resistance due to ...

Why the peak of spectrum gets vague when the dimension is lower?
In a many-body system, we can know the spectrum function at a particular temperature from Green function. It means density of states. A peak of spectrum represents one mode. My question is that in the ...
