This volume contains invited and contributed papers of eminent scientists who are deeply involved in the field of strongly correlated electron systems and high-Tc superconductivity. The topics of the papers include the Hubbard model, the t-J model, the polaronic model for high-Tc superconductivity, Fermi liquid and non-Fermi liquid theory, and heavy fermion systems.
