Strong coupling resistivity in the Kondo model

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

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 T2T^2 result in the exactly screened case to arbitrary order. The example of the ordinary Kondo model is worked out in details: we determine ρ\rho up to order T6T^6, and compare the result with available numerical data.
