Bridging the chemistry-physics divide
My UQ colleague Ben Powell has written a nice set of notes An introduction to effective low-energy Hamiltonians in condensed matter physics and chemistry. They will be particularly useful for beginning graduate students. They have already been helpful to theoretical chemists and physicists who struggle to understand each other, when actually talking about the same thing. The notes will be published in a forthcoming book edited by Jeff Reimers.
