Comment on ``Analytic Structure of One-Dimensional Localization Theory: Re-Examining Mott's Law''

The low-frequency conductivity of a disordered Fermi gas in one spatial dimension is governed by the Mott-Berezinskii law $\sigma(\omega) \propto \omega^2 \ln \omega^2$. In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 1760 (2000)] A. O. Gogolin claimed that this law is invalid, challenging our basic understanding of disordered systems and a massive amount of previous theoretical work. We point out two calculational errors in Gogolin's paper. Once we correct them, the Mott-Berezinskii formula is fully recovered. We also present numerical results supporting the Mott-Berezinskii formula but ruling out that of Gogolin.
