This module is "advanced"; it's assumed you know basic solid state (as in P635) and Stat Mech (P562), or the equivalent. Optimally, you should also have Advanced Stat Phys (P653), for the renormalization group, and Solid State II (P635) or concurrently. My lectures won't depend on those for any particular results, but a certain sophistication is assumed. When I introduce concepts out of those courses, I won't linger, as I should if you were seeing this for the first time.
The main text will be Interacting electrons and Quantum Magnetism by Assa Auerbach (Springer, 1994). Other useful sources (e.g. review papers) will be listed here, or on handouts, during the module.
