Physical properties of solids. Influence of translation symmetry and its distorsion by external fields and internal perturbations. Lattics vibrations are used to show a quantization of physical fields. Quasiparticles (excitons, magnons, plasmons, polarons) are introduced. Application of the perturbation theory methods, canonical transformations, and Green functions to the electron-phonon interaction is used for investigation of their mutual interaction.
