liquids    [PDF]

B. Horovitz, T. Giamarchi, P. Le Doussal

We study various realizations of collective coordinates, e.g. the position of a particle, the charge of a Coulomb box or the phase of a Bose or a superconducting condensate, coupled to Luttinger liquids (LL) with N flavors. We find that for Luttinger parameter 1/2View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.6067
