Seminar at Ecole Polytechnique
Today I had a really nice visit to the condensed matter theory group at Ecole Polytechnique. Here is a copy of the seminar that I gave, Destruction of quasi-particles near the Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition. It is largely based on this paper. It was great to give this talk to so many experts on Dynamical Mean-Field Theory.
