Popis: The Wigner function W(z,k) for a model of interacting one-dimensional fermions confined to a harmonic trap is evaluated at zero temperature. The model considers two hyperfine states of the same fermionic species and treats the dominant interactions between the two using the bosonization method. Interactions substantially modify the shape of the Wigner function. Irrespective of the sign of the coupling constant, the Friedel oscillations inherent in the Wigner function are enhanced in the k-direction and suppressed in the z-direction.
