Solid State Physics - Fermi Liquid Theory

Beginning the Ph.D. program at UChicago, I started with some coursework. In the Autumn quarter 2021, I took a course in solid-state physics with Prof. K. Levin. The course was challenging but it was very great that I gained many deeper insights in the field. At the end of the quarter, we wrote term papers with some selected topics. At the moment, I am doing research on topological materials. However the course requires me to exclude any topics that are related directly to my Ph.D. work, I choose Landau's Fermi liquid theory. This theory is pretty old but it is very useful for any branches of solid state physics as it deals with electron-electron interactions systematically first. You can found my writing here, feel free to contact me if you have anything to discuss about it. I am sure there are many typos in it.
