Résumé

One-dimensional systems of interacting particles have fascinated theorists for more than 50 years now. They are wonderful systems in which interactions play a very special role and whose physics is drastically different from the 'normal' physics of interacting particles, that is, the one known in higher dimensions. From the theoretical point of view, here again they are quite unique. The one-dimensional character makes the problem simple enough so that some rather complete solutions could be obtained using specific methods, and yet complex enough to lead to incredibly rich physics.

Let me tell briefly what each chapter contains to help the reader find his/her way in this one-dimensional maze. This book can be read 'a la carte'. Depending on your knowledge of theory, and on what you expect to find in this book, the chapters should not be read in the same order. All (most of) the technology is concentrated in the first five chapters and in the appendices. These parts do not focus on any specific physical system but give the tools needed to tackle any one-dimensional problem. I have tried as much as possible not to assume any previous theoretical knowledge from the reader and to explain in a detailed and hopefully physical way the various theoretical techniques used. These chapters are thus intended to teach the techniques at a slow pace.
