TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES IN THE TOMONAGA-LUTTINGER LIQUID

We investigate the conductivity using Green's functions in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. It is shown that the resistivity has a linear temperature dependence if we take account of the physical process that the accelerated electron decays into spinon and holon. The effect of impurity scattering becomes visible only below a crossover temperature which strongly depends on the impurity strength, every cutoff, and spin and charge velocities. The optical conductivity is also studied and it is shown that the relaxation rate has a linear frequency dependence.
