Field theory fo charged fluids and colloids
  A systematic field theory is presented for charged systems. The one-loop level corresponds to the classical Debye-H\"uckel (DH) theory, and exhibits the full hierarchy of multi-body correlations determined by pair-distribution functions given by the screened DH potential. Higher-loop corrections can lead to attractive pair interactions between colloids in asymmetric ionic environments. The free energy follows as a loop-wise expansion in half-integer powers of the density; the resulting two-phase demixing region shows pronounced deviations from DH theory for strongly charged colloids.
