When applied to a finite Fermi system having a degenerate single-particle spectrum, the Landau-Migdal Fermi-liquid approach leaves room for the possibility that different single-particle energy levels merge with one another. It will be argued that the opportunity for this behavior exists over a wide range of strongly interacting quantum many-body systems. An inherent feature of the mergence phenomenon is the presence of nonintegral quasiparticle occupation numbers, which implies a radical modification of the standard quasiparticle picture. Consequences of this alteration are surveyed for nuclear, atomic, and solid-state systems.

Abstract The rooted maps theory, a branch of the theory of homology, is shown to be a powerful tool for investigating the topological properties of Feynman diagrams, related to the single particle propagator in the quantum many-body systems. The numerical correspondence between the number of this class of Feynman diagrams as a function of perturbative order and the number of rooted maps as a function of the number of edges is studied. A graphical procedure to associate Feynman diagrams and rooted maps is then stated. Finally, starting from rooted maps principles, an original definition of the genus of a Feynman diagram, which totally differs from the usual one, is given.

In a particular exactly solvable model of an interacting system, the Boltzmann equation predicts a constant single particle density operator, whereas the exact solution gives a single particle density operator with a nontrivial time dependence. All of the time dependence of the single particle density operator is generated by the correlations.

Brueckner has recently pointed out that, for saturation, (Eav−E(pF)) does not vanish in general because of "important many-body contributions to the single particle energy which arise from the effects of the exclusion principle and from the variation of the self-consistent excitation spectrum with density." It is the purpose of this note to evaluate this difference in terms of the properties of the single-particle potential.

It is shown that the grand partition function of an ideal Bose system with single particle spectrum εi=(2n+k+3/2)ℏω is identical to that of a system of particles with single particle energy εi=(n+1/2)ℏω and obeying a particular kind of statistics based on the permutation group.
