Hidden Integrability of a Kondo Impurity in an Unconventional Host

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-10-31 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

We study a spin-1/2 Kondo impurity coupled to an unconventional host in which the density of band states vanishes either precisely at (``gapless'' systems) or on some interval around the Fermi level (``gapped''systems). Despite an essentially nonlinear band dispersion, the system is proven to exhibit hidden integrability and is diagonalized exactly by the Bethe ansatz.
