We study the effect of an electrostatic coupling between a scanning tunneling microscope tip and a Luttinger liquid wire on the tunneling current and noise between the two. Solving the Dyson equations non perturbatively for a local interaction potential, we derive the Green's functions associated to the wire and to the tip. Interestingly, the electrostatic coupling leads to the existence of new correlators, which we call mixed Green's functions, which are correlators between the bosonic fields of the wire and the tip. Next, we calculate the transport properties up to second order with the amplitude of the tunnel transfer: the tunnel current is strongly reduced by the presence of screening. The zero-frequency noise is modified in a similar way, but the Fano factor remains unchanged. We also consider the effect of the screening on the asymmetry of the finite-frequency non-symmetrized noise and on the conductance.
