This Topical Collection of the European Physics Journal A is devoted to recent progress in the nuclear many-body problem. In particular, it aims at a comprehensive compilation of developments related to the work of a pioneer in that field, Peter Schuck, who passed away in 2022. Together with Peter Ring, he co-authored the book on “The Nuclear Many-Body Problem”. Different concepts presented in this seminal book have been elaborated further within a broad international collaboration. For instance, the quasi-particle approaches in connection with nuclear superfluidity and cluster formation in nuclear systems, in particular alpha-particle condensation and quartetting at subsaturation densities, have been put forward inspired by Peter Schuck. These advances obtained in the nuclear many-body problem can also be applied to other systems, for instance solid state physics. This Topical Collection is considered as addendum and continuation of the textbook of P. Ring and P. Schuck.
