Abstract
We study a system of one-dimensional electrons in the regime of strong repulsive interactions, where the spin exchange coupling is small compared with the Fermi energy, and the conventional Tomonaga-Luttinger theory does not apply. We show that the tunneling density of states has a form of an asymmetric peak centered near the Fermi level. In the spin-incoherent regime, where the temperature is large compared to , the density of states falls off as a power law of energy measured from the Fermi level, with the prefactor at positive energies being twice as large as that at the negative ones. In contrast, at temperatures below the density of states forms a split peak with most of the weight shifted to negative .
