Bosonization for beginners – Overview

Bosonization for beginners
Lecturer: Jan von Delft

These tutorial lectures give an elementary and self-contained derivation of the standard identities (psi ~ F e^{i phi}, etc.) for abelian bosonization in 1 dimension in a system of finite size L. The tutorial is based on Ref. [1] and addressed to an audience (e.g. Master or doctoral students) with little or no prior knowledge of bosonization, who are interested in seeing “all the details” explicitly. Prerequisites are a knowledge of second quantization, but not of field theory (which is not needed here).
