Abstract
We consider a long quantum wire at low electron densities. In this
strong interaction regime a Wigner crystal may form, in which electrons
comprise an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chain. The coupling
constant J is exponentially small, as it originates from tunneling of
two neighboring electrons through the segregating potential barrier. We
study this exponential dependence, properly accounting for the many-body
effects and the finite width of the wire.
