Abstract
Dynamics and thermodynamics of ultracold ion chains in harmonic traps at low temperatures are discussed. The spectrum of the linear excitations and the thermodynamic properties are considered in view of a properly defined thermodynamic limit, at which they reproduce the ones of a homogeneous Coulomb chain. The basic assumptions of this theory are discussed under the conditions of experimental realizations.
