Etymology
Reformulated by J. M. Luttinger, based on earlier work by Tomonaga.
Meanings
- A theoretical model describing interacting electrons (or other fermions) in a one-dimensional conductor (e.g. quantum wires such as carbon nanotubes). Such a model is necessary because the commonly-used Fermi liquid model breaks down for one dimension.
