Abstract
The lowest excitation energies of confined and strongly interacting electrons with spin are calculated in terms of localized few particle ‘pocket states’. The method, which becomes exact in the low density limit, is briefly explained. It is applied to quantum dots in one and two dimensions, and to a one—dimensional ring with an impurity and subject to an Aharonov—Bohm flux. The electron spin influences qualitatively observable quantities like the transport properties and the persistent current.
