Physics in one dimension: theoretical concepts for quantum many-body systems

  • 1. Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Göttingen, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, D-37077 (Germany)

Description

Various sophisticated approximation methods exist for the description of quantum many-body systems. It was realized early on that the theoretical description can simplify considerably in one-dimensional systems and various exact solutions exist. The focus in this introductory paper is on fermionic systems and the emergence of the Luttinger liquid concept.
