Kondo model in and out of equilibrium: Functional RG at strong coupling — •Holger Schmidt and Peter Wölfle — Institut für Theorie der Kondensierten Materie, Universität Karlsruhe, D-76128 Karlsruhe, Germany
We apply the functional renormalization group (RG) method to calculate the conductance of a quantum dot in the Kondo regime in and out of equilibrium. The local spin 1/2 operator is described in pseudofermion representation. The set of of coupled RG equations for the pseudofermion self-energy and vertex functions in Keldysh space is derived and analyzed. Neglecting three-particle and higher vertex functions the equations are solved. It is found that the imaginary part of the self energy limits the growth of the two-particle vertex function at low temperatures and voltages T,V≪ TK (Kondo temperature), providing a semiquantitative description down into the strong coupling regime. In the regime max(T,V)≫ TK we recover the results of [1].
