We develop a kinetic theory for strongly correlated disordered one-dimensional electron systems out of equilibrium, within the Luttinger liquid model. In the absence of inhomogeneities, the model exhibits no relaxation to equilibrium. We…
We study the dynamics resulting out of an abrupt change of the two-particle interaction in two models of closed one-dimensional Fermi systems: (a) the field theoretical Tomonaga-Luttinger model and (b) a microscopic lattice model. Using a…

We study the escape rate of flux quanta in a long Josephson junction having an asymmetric spatial inhomogeneous critical current density. We show that such a junction can behave as a quantum ratchet when it is driven by an ac current in the…
The paper addresses the problem whether and how it is possible to detect the Luttinger-liquid behavior from the $IV$ curves for tunneling to 1D or quasi-1D conductors. The power-law non-ohmic $IV$ curve, which is usually considered as a…
