Using a Laughlin type argument, we show that gauge invariance protects the universal value of the conductance of $e^2/h$ per channel per spin orientation if the system possesses two conserved charges conjugate to the chemical potentials of the external reservoirs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-06-06T15:28:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "equilibrium one-dimensional transport", "universality", "one-dimensional electron system", "laughlin type argument", "gauge invariance protects" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1997cond.mat..6061A" } } }
