Abstract
By applying methods of integrable quantum field theory to the Kondo problem, we develop a systematic perturbation expansion near the IR (strong coupling) fixed point. This requires the knowledge of an infinity of irrelevant operators and their couplings, which we all determine exactly. A low temperature expansion (ie all the corrections to Fermi liquid theory) of the resistivity then follows, extending for instance the well known Nozieres result in the exactly screened case to arbitrary order. The example of the ordinary Kondo model is worked out in details: we determine up to order , and compare the result with available numerical data.
