Abstract
Recent developments in the physics of ultracold gases provide wide
possibilities for reducing the dimensionality of space for magnetically or
optically trapped atoms. The goal of these lectures is to show
that regimes of quantum degeneracy in two-dimensional (2D) and
one-dimensional (1D) trapped gases are drastically different from those
in three dimensions and to stimulate an interest in low-dimensional systems.
Attention is focused on the new physics appearing in currently studied
low-dimensional trapped gases and related to finite-size and finite-temperature
effects.
