Bosonization of One-Dimensional Exclusons and Characterization of Luttinger Liquids
Yong-Shi Wu, Yue Yu
Abstract
We achieve a bosonization of one-dimensional ideal gas of particles obeying exclusion statistics $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ (so called $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ exclusons) at low temperatures, resulting in a new variant of $c\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1$ conformal field theory with compactified radius $R\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\sqrt{1/\ensuremath{\lambda}}$. These ideal excluson gases exactly reproduce the low- $T$ critical properties of Luttinger liquids, so they can be used to characterize the fixed points of the latter. Generalized ideal gases with mutual statistics and nonideal gases with Luttinger-type interactions have also similar low- $T$ behavior, controlled by an effective statistics varying in a fixed-point line.
