Abstract: We are demonstrating that the Luttinger model with short range interaction can be treated as a type of Fermi liquid. In line with the main dogma of Landau's theory one can define a fermion excitation renormalized by interaction and show that in terms of these fermions any excited state of the system is described by free particles. The fermions are a mixture of renormalized right and left electrons. The electric charge and chirality of the Landau quasi-particle is discussed.

Review text

Using the free fermion representation for the Luttinger model with short-range interaction, the authors extend in the present paper the concept of the Fermi liquid Landau to the system of 1D interacting fermions. The quantum numbers of Landau quasi-particles are different in comparison with original electrons due to the strong polarization of the ground state. At the same time, chirality of the quasi-particle in the limit rises steeply, so that their product is equal to free electron one. These quasi-particles describe all excited states of the Luttinger liquid and are an analogy with the normal excitations of Bogolubov-Valantin in the theory of 3D superconductivity.
