In this paper, I give an overview of some selected results in quantum many body theory, lying at the interface between mathematical quantum statistical mechanics and condensed matter theory. In particular, I discuss some recent results on the universality of transport coecients in lattice models of interacting electrons, with specic focus on the in- dependence of the quantum Hall conductivity from the electron-electron interaction. In this context, the exchange of ideas between mathematical and theoretical physics proved particu- larly fruitful, and helped in clarifying the role played by quantum conservation laws (Ward Identities), together with the decay properties of the Euclidean current-current correlation functions, on the interaction-independence of the conductivity.
