Abstract
Following the Shevchik technique, a model Hamiltonian of collective oscillations (plasmons) in a one-dimensional system of complete degenerate fermions is obtained in terms of the Tomonaga boson operators. This Hamiltonian is diagonalized by means of the Mattis and Lieb canonical transformation and the plasma frequency is derived. The equation-of-motion method is applied in the RPA in order to include the coupling between the collective and individual degrees of freedom. The generalization to finite temperatures is performed and connection with the Tomonaga model is discussed.
