Transport in quasi-one dimensional systems

Thierry GIAMARCHI

Low dimensional systems have peculiar properties quite different from the standard ones of Fermi liquids.
In particular charge and spin degrees of freedom are decoupled which leads to very peculiar consequences for transport properties.
I will discuss these consequences, not only for normal charge and spin transport through such structures, but also for more complicated transport quantities such as the Hall effect. I will also discuss the consequences for experimental systems such as the Bechgaard salts or spin ladders.
