Abstract

The low-energy theory for single-wall carbon nanotubes including Coulomb interactions is derived and analyzed. It describes two fermion chains without interchain hopping but coupled in a specific way by the interaction. The strong-coupling properties are studied by bosonization, and consequences for experiments on single armchair nanotubes are discussed.
