Abstract
Quantum wires, obtained by lateral confinement of a two dimensional electron gas [1], provide a good candidate to test the well-developed theory of one-dimensional interacting systems which show the so-called Luttinger liquid behavior [2, 3]. According to [4, 5] the interactions should renormalize the conductance g of a pure wire: g = 2g 0 K where g 0 = e 2/h is the conductance quantum and K is a key parameter depending on interactions, with K = 1 for a non-interacting system. The reduction of the conductance in the presence of localized or extended disorder has a power-law dependence on temperature [6, 7, 8], or on the wire length [9], determined also by K.
