Popis: The theoretical description of interacting fermions in one spatial dimension is simplified by the fact that the low-energy spectrum of noninteracting fermions is identical to the one for a harmonic chain. This allows us to describe interacting fermions as a system of coupled oscillators. The exact solution of the Tomonaga–Luttinger model is discussed and results for the momentum distribution and spectral functions are presented. The general Luttinger liquid phenomenology is briefly discussed and various attempts at the experimental verification of the theoretical predictions are examined. Extended defects in semiconductors might also be candidate systems.
