Abstract
We determine the zero-bias anomaly of the conductance of tunnel junctions by an approach unifying the conventional Coulomb blockade theory for ultrasmall junctions with the diffusive anomalies in disordered conductors. Both, electron-electron interactions within the electrodes and electron-hole interactions between the electrodes are taken into account nonperturbatively. Explicit results are given for one- and two-dimensional junctions, and the crossover to ultrasmall junctions is discussed.
