Abstract
A review is given of the electronic structure of liquid metals. The theoretical formalism is developed in terms of the density matrices of the system, and the conditions under which these can be obtained are described, and the limitations found at present. The experimental material is then reviewed and it is shown how experimental results are interpreted in terms of values and averages over the density matrices.Keywords
