Abstract
We present a Fermi liquid approach to superconducting Kondo problems applicable when the Kondo temperature is large compared to the superconducting gap. To illustrate the theory, we study the current-phase relation and the Andreev level spectrum for an Anderson impurity between two -wave superconductors. In the particle-hole symmetric Kondo limit, we find a periodic Andreev spectrum. The periodicity persists under a small voltage bias which however causes an asymmetric distortion of Andreev levels. The latter distinguishes the present effect from the one in topological Majorana junctions.
