Tunneling in One-Dimensional non-Luttinger Electron Liquid

The conductance of a weakly interacting electron gas in the presense of a single scatterer is found at arbitrary strength of the scattering potential. At weak interaction, a simple renormalization group approach can be used instead of the standard bosonization procedure. Our technique allows to take into account the {\em backscattering\/} of electrons that leads to a non-Luttinger-liquid behavior of the low-temperature conductance. In the presence of magnetic field, the backscattering may give rise to a peak in differential conductance at bias equal to the Zeeman energy.
