Abstract
We present a controlled method for computing the exchange coupling in strongly correlated one-dimensional electron systems. The asymptotically exact relation between the exchange constant and the pair-correlation function of spinless electrons is derived. Explicit results are obtained for thin quantum rings with realistic Coulomb interactions, by calculating this function via a many-body instanton approach.
