I attempt to give a pedagogical overview of
the progress which has occurred during the past decade in the description
of one-dimensional correlated fermions. Fermi liquid theory based on a
quasi-particle picture, breaks down in one dimension because of the Peierls
divergence and because of charge-spin separation. It is replaced by a Luttinger
liquid whose elementary excitations are collective charge and spin modes,
based on the exactly solvable Luttinger model. I review this model and
various solutions with emphasis on bosonization (and its equivalence to
conformal field theory), and its physical properties. The notion of a Luttinger
liquid implies that all gapless 1D systems share these properties at low
energies. Chapters 1 and 2 of the article contain an introduction and a
discussion of the breakdown of Fermi liquid theory. Chapter 3 describes
in detail the solution of the Luttinger model both by bosonization and
by Green's functions methods and summarizes the properties of the model,
expressed thorugh correlation functions. The relation to conformal field
theory is discussed. Chapter 4 of the article introduces the notion of
a Luttinger liquid. It describes in much detail the various mappings applied
to realistic models of 1D correlated fermions, onto the Luttinger model,
as well as important corrections to the Luttinger
model properties discussed in Ch.3. Chapter 5 describes situations
where the Luttinger liquid is not a stable fixed point, and where spin
or charge gaps open in at least one channel. Chapter 6 discusses
multi-band and multichain problems, in particular the stability of a Luttinger
liquid with respect to interchain hopping. Ch. 7 gives a brief summary
of experimental efforts to uncover Luttinger liquid correlations in quasi-1D
materials.

In these lecture notes, the basic physics of Fermi liquids and Luttinger liquids is presented. Fermi liquids are discussed both from a phenomenological viewpoint, in relation to microscopic approaches, and as renormalization group fixed points. Luttinger liquids are introduced using the bosonization formalism, and their essential differences with Fermi liquids are pointed out. Applications to transport effects, the effect of disorder, quantum spin chains, and spin ladders, both insulating and metallic, are given.

Luttinger's contributions abound in different parts of many-body physics. Here I review the ones that appear when one uses the Renormalization Group (RG) to study the subject: the Luttinger Liquid, Luttinger's Theorem (on the volume of the Fermi surface) and the Kohn-Luttinger Theorem on the superconducting instability of all metals as one approaches absolute zero.
