Description

I will discuss corrections to the conductance of long uniform quantum wires caused by the processes of equilibration of the electron system. In the most interesting case of strongly interacting electrons the equilibration is dominated by the spin excitations. This gives rise to the corrections to conductance that reach values comparable with the conductance quantum even at temperatures small compared to the Fermi energy.
