Abstract

The concept of a Luttinger liquid in 1 D is extended to include twisted boundary conditions on a ring and mesoscopic parity effects due to evenness and oddness of the particle number N0. Using Haldane`s notion of topological excitations, a proof of Leggett`s conjecture is presented, stating that the ground state of interacting 1 D quantum systems is diamagnetic or paramagnetic depending on the parity of N0. The persistent currents produced by an Aharonov-Bohm flux are calculated and shown to have period and amplitude that are in agreement with recent experiments.
