  The thermodynamic limit is a mathematical technique which permits to consider crystals (or other macroscopic objects) as infinitely sized periodically arranged molecules. It allows to derive models in solid state physics from models in quantum chemistry. Based on this technique, the book presents established as well as new mathematical results for a large class of models in quantum chemistry.
