We show how to analytically determine for $g\leq 1/2$ the "Friedel oscillations" of charge density by a single impurity in a 1D Luttinger liquid of spinless electrons.
Friedel oscillations appear in density of Fermi gases due to Pauli exclusion principle and translational symmetry breaking nearby a defect or impurity. In confined Fermi gases, this symmetry breaking occurs also near to boundaries. Here,…
