Abstract
We show that one-dimensional binary mixtures of bosons or of a boson and a spin-polarized fermion are Luttinger liquids with the following instabilities: i) For different particle densities, strong attraction between the mixture components leads to collapse, while strong repulsion leads to phase separation, ii) For a mixture of two gases of impenetrable bosons (or a spin-polarized fermion and an impenetrable boson) of nearly equal densities, the system develops a gap and exhibits enhanced pairing fluctuations when there is attraction between the components. In the boson-fermion mixture, the pairing fluctuations occur at finite momentum.
