Abstract

We generalize the concept of quasiparticle for one-dimensional (1D) interacting electronic systems. The and quasiparticles recombine the pseudoparticle colors and (charge and spin at zero magnetic field) and are constituted by one many-pseudoparticle {\it topological momenton} and one or two pseudoparticles. These excitations cannot be separated. We consider the case of the Hubbard chain. We show that the low-energy electron -- quasiparticle transformation has a singular charater which justifies the perturbative and non-perturbative nature of the quantum problem in the pseudoparticle and electronic basis, respectively. This follows from the absence of zero-energy electron -- quasiparticle overlap in 1D. The existence of Fermi-surface quasiparticles both in 1D and three dimensional (3D) many-electron systems suggests there existence in quantum liquids in dimensions 1D3. However, whether the electron -- quasiparticle overlap can vanish in D1 or whether it becomes finite as soon as we leave 1D remains an unsolved question.
