Kondo effect in a Luttinger liquid: Exact results from conformal field theory.

چکیده
We report on exact results for the low-temperature thermodynamics of a spin-12 magnetic impurity coupled to a one-dimensional interacting electron system. By using boundary conformal field theory, we show that there are only two types of critical behaviors consistent with the symmetries of the problem: either a local Fermi liquid, or a theory with an anomalous response identical to that recently proposed by Furusaki and Nagaosa. Suppression of back scattering off the impurity leads to the same critical properties as for the two-channel Kondo effect. PACS numbers: 72.10.Fk, 72.15.Nj, 72.15.Qm, 75.20.Hr

An Exactly Solvable Kondo Problem for Interacting One-Dimensional Fermions.
The single impurity Kondo problem in the one-dimensional (1D) δ-potential Fermi gas is exactly solved for two sets of special coupling constants via Bethe ansatz. It is found that ferromagnetic Kondo screening does occur in one case which confirms the Furusaki-Nagaosa conjecture while in the other case it does not, which we explain in a simple physical picture. The surface energy, the low tempe...
متن کاملA unified framework for the Kondo problem and for an impurity in a Luttinger liquid
We develop a unified theoretical framework for the anisotropic Kondo model and the boundary sine-Gordon model. They are both boundary integrable quantum field theories with a quantum-group spin at the boundary which takes values, respectively, in standard or cyclic representations of the quantum group SU(2)q. This unification is powerful, and allows us to find new results for both models. For t...
متن کاملMultichannel Kondo effect in an interacting electron system: Exact results for the low-temperature thermodynamics
We study the low-temperature thermodynamics of a spin-S magnetic impurity coupled to m>2 degenerate bands of interacting electrons in one dimension. By exploiting boundary-conformal-field-theory techniques, we derive exact results for the possible impurity thermal and magnetic response. The leading behavior of the impurity magnetic susceptibility is shown to be insensitive to the electron-elect...
متن کاملMagnetic impurity in a Luttinger liquid: A conformal field theory approach.
We study the low-temperature properties of a spin2 magnetic impurity coupled to a one-dimensional interacting electron system. Using the newly developed formalism by Affleck and Ludwig, with a scale invariant boundary condition replacing the impurity, we exploit boundary conformal field theory to deduce the impurity thermal and magnetic response. In the case of only forward electron scattering ...

Exact results are reported for the low-temperature thermodynamics of a spin-1 2 magnetic impurity coupled to a 1D interacting electron system. The use of conformal eld theory techniques reveals that there are only two types of critical behaviors consistent with the symmetries of the problem: either a local Fermi liquid, or else a theory identical to that recently proposed by Furusaki and Nagaos...
