Physics in One Dimension Proceedings of an International Conference Fribourg, Switzerland, August 25–29, 1980

In 1966, E.H. Lieb and D.C. r1attis published a book on "Mathematical Physics in One Dimension" [Academic Press, New York and London] which is much more than just a collection of reprints and which in fact marked the beginnings of the rapidly growing interest in one-dimensional problems an...
