Bosonization

Contains reprints of papers on the method of bosonization as it is used in particle and condensed matter physics. The papers range from the classic work by Tomonga in the 1950s on one-dimensional electron gases, to integrable systems and bosonization in Reimann surfaces.

Bosonization is a useful technique for studying systems of interacting fermions in low dimensions. It has applications in both particle and condensed matter physics.This book contains reprints of papers on the method as used in these fields. The papers range from the classic work of Tomonaga in the 1950's on one-dimensional electron gases, through the discovery of fermionic solitons in the 1970's, to integrable systems and bosonization on Riemann surfaces. A four-chapter pedagogical introduction by the editor should make the book accessible to graduate students and experienced researchers alike.
