A number of texts claim that the Hamiltonian for the Anderson model of a localised magnetic impurity contains the physics of the Kondo Hamiltonian. Does anyone have any suggestion for how to show this, or any reference that accounts for this?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Er... I don't understand this. Isn't localized magnetic impurity a REQUIREMENT for a Kondo effect?

Yes, indeed. I'm asking for the maths that takes the Anderson to the Kondo hamiltonian more than the physics, I guess.
 
Ah... I get it now. I'm dreading to look this up in Mahan's "Many-Particle Physics" text. Maybe someone else has a less-tedious way of answering this.

:)

Thanks a lot for the reference! I'm not sure that it could be any more relevant.
