Abstract
The effects of the electron-electron and electron-phonon interaction on the normal solid are remarkably small. The results we have described simply amount to replacing a set of noninteracting one-particle states by a set of quasiparticles whose properties are only slight modifications of the original ones. In mathematical terms the perturbation series we have considered for the self energies have converged rapidly. This need not always be the case and is, in fact, highly dependent upon the way that the initial system is chosen and how the perturbation series is constructed.
