Behemoth (ベヒモス, Behimosu) is a hobgoblin. He is the familiar of Amaimon. Whenever Amaimon is not fighting, Behemoth is usually seen with him.
Behemoth seems to be a normal hobgoblin or maintains the appearance of one. It always wears a type of leather harness, to which Amaimon attaches the leash or chain he leads it around with. For an odd reason, Behemoth sports a different color scheme than normal hobgoblin. It is also able to grow into a much larger version of itself for combat.
True Cross Academy Arc
Behemoth is constantly seen around Amaimon in different places. Though it is later shown to have fighting capabilities, it does not appear during the fight in Mepphyland.
Training Camp Arc
When Amaimon attacks the Exwires' camp, he orders Behemoth to attack. However, Behemoth and Amaimon are blown away by Shura's total shield. When Rin attempts to chase after Amaimon and Shiemi, Behemoth gets in his way. Shura fights Behemoth and arrives later, but it is unknown if it either got away or was slain.
Powers and Abilities
Size Alteration: Behemoth, unlike others of the Goblin species, possesses the ability to alter its size, going from around the size of a medium-sized dog to larger than a tank.[1]
- Behemoth takes its name from a massive land animal from the Book of Job, it gained a certain notoriety in medieval art and later works, being included in the Dictionnaire Infernal, a 19th century guide to demonology.

"I currently have offers from Air Force, Wyoming, San Diego State, Nevada and Utah," said Prince. "I like all those schools and will consider each of them."
Other schools showing Prince interest include BYU, Boise State and Washington. Prince is anxiously awaiting scholarship offers from either of these schools, which would likely jump in as his favorite if they were to offer.
"Washington is my favorite school," said Prince. "I visited their coaches and their campus a while ago and just loved it. I like that they're a Pac-10 school and they're my favorite right now. Hopefully they offer me."
Recently Prince made his way to Provo to participate in BYU's Junior Day. It wasn't Prince's first time in Provo, as he's been a participant in their summer camps as recently as this past summer.
"I like BYU," said Prince. "I know a lot about their program and I'm Mormon, so I like that they're a church school. They've indicated that they may offer me here soon. They just need to decide if they're going to offer a quarterback at all this year. If they are, then they're telling me that it would likely be me."
Prince has spent a lot of time talking to BYU coaches. Quarterbacks coach Brandon Doman and linebackers coach Barry Lamb are the two coaches he's had the most contact with.
"I like Coach Doman; he's a good guy," said Prince. "Coach Lamb and Coach Doman are very straight up and honest with me, which I like."
Through their conversations during the recruiting process, BYU coaches have mentioned to Prince that they'd be more likely to offer him if he was to leave directly on a mission out of high school. With players leaving and returning from missions so often, Prince is well-aware of the conundrum it often puts BYU in with regards to offering scholarships.
"They've been up front and honest with me every step of the way, which I appreciate," said Prince. "I turn 19 the November after I graduate and could leave a little earlier and come back and have all my eligibility left. I might do that. I just need to decide."
So where would BYU be in the pecking order if they were to offer a scholarship to Prince?
"They'd be my number-one school if they offered," said Prince. "I like BYU a lot. I like how they play and I like the school. BYU and Washington are the two schools I like the most."
As for Boise State, Prince mentions that they're probably the school he has had the most contact with through phone calls and letters, although he has yet to visit the campus.
"I'm going to Boise State's summer camp and will obviously learn more about the program then," said Prince. "I like their program and just need to learn more about them."
Prince describes himself as a classic drop-back quarterback who can scramble and move around in the pocket better than most quarterbacks.
"I'm a dual-threat quarterback," said Prince. "I can stand in the pocket, but I'm very good rolling out of it and making yards downfield when I leave the pocket. I have good pocket presence and I want to work on my reads better this next season."
TBS will keep in touch with Prince, as more options are bound to come forth for the promising quarterback prospect in the coming months.

Pavarini, E. Koch, F. Anders, and M. Jarrell Correlated Electrons: From Models to Materials Modeling and Simulation Vol. 2 Forschungszentrum Jülich, 2012, ISBN
2 11.2 Frithjof B. Anders 1 Introduction Jun Kondo was intrigued [1, 2] by the puzzling experimental observation [3] that the resistance in noble or divalent metals typically shows a minimum at low temperatures when containing small concentrations of transition metals. It was expected that the inelastic scattering is reduced with decreasing temperature and, therefore, the resistance should be a monotonic function of T, which reaches a finite temperature-independent value for T 0 proportional to the remaining lattice imperfections. It had been noted that the increase of the residual resistance is proportional to the transition metal concentration [3,4] and only occurs when those impurities are magnetic. In 1961, Anderson [5] proposed a simple model for the understanding of the formation of stable magnetic moments in transition metals ions. Since the Coulomb interactions is only weakly screened on atomic length scales, valence fluctuations on unfilled d and f shells are suppressed at integer fillings, and a finite total angular momentum is formed according to Hund s rules. The Anderson model, which we will discuss in Sec. 1.2, provides a microscopic understanding of the Friedel sum rule [6] which relates the phase shifts of the conduction electrons scattered on the impurity to the number of displaced electrons. The overwhelming experimental evidence hints towards the generic nature of this effect: the details of the conduction bands actually do only enter into a single material-dependent low energy scale T K, the so-called Kondo scale. Kondo realized that the position of the resistance minimum remains unaltered when reducing the concentration of the magnetic impurities which rules out interaction induced correlation effects between different localized spins. From the first observation [3] in 1934, it took three decades until Kondo [1, 2] proposed his seminal Hamiltonian, which provides a simple physical picture and explains the experimental data. In the Kondo model, H = H b + H K, (1) the conduction electrons are described by a non-interacting electron gas H b = kσ ε kσ c kσ c kσ (2) and the interaction with a localized magnetic moment S is modelled by a simple Heisenberg term H K = J S s b. (3) c kσ (c kσ ) generates (destroys) a conduction electron with momentum k and spin σ, S represents the impurity spin, s b s b = 1 1 c 2 N kα σ αβ c k β (4) k k αβ is the spin of the conduction electrons at the impurity site and σ are the Pauli matrices. The lattice has a finite size of N sites which are sent to N in the thermodynamic limit. Over the period of the last 50 years we have learned that the Kondo problem is not restricted to magnetically doped noble or divalent metals: it has turned out to be one of the most fundamental
3 The Kondo Effect 11.3 problems in solid state physics. It involves the change of ground states when going from highenergy to low energy physics indicated by the infrared divergent perturbation theory. 1.1 Resistance minimum Before we proceed to the Kondo problem itself, let us investigate the scattering of free conduction electrons on a finite number of impurities. The N imp identical impurities are located at positions { R i }, and each contributes a potential V ( r R i ) to H b generating the additional potential scattering term V = e i q Ri V ( q) c k+ q,σ c kσ, (5) i k qσ where V ( q) is the Fourier transform of V ( r). For a given configuration of impurities, { R i }, the single-particle Green function of the conduction electrons is determined by Dyson s equation [7], G k, k (z) = δ k, k z ε kσ + i e i q R i V ( q) G 0 k (z)g k q, k (z), (6) qσ where G 0 k (z) = [z ε kσ ] 1. After expanding this equation in powers of V ( q), we need to average over the different configurations { R i } in order to obtain the configuration averaged Green function G k, k (z) conf. In linear order, we obtain e i q R i V ( q) = N imp V (0) δ q,0, (7) i while in second order, two terms [4] arise e i q R i V ( q) e i q R j V ( q ) = N imp V (q)v (q )δ q+ q,0 + N imp(n imp 1)V 2 (0)δ q,0 δ q,0. i j (8) The first describes two scattering events on a single impurity and the other a single scattering of two different impurities. Summing up all these zero momentum transfers V (0) produces a uniform background which we absorb into the dispersion ε kσ. In higher order, there are two types of skeleton diagrams [8] generated: either the diagram describes multiple scattering on a single impurity, or several impurities are involved. The latter include interference effects which can be neglected if the mean free path is shorter than the average distance between two impurities. In the following, we assume such a small concentration of c imp that the condition c imp = N imp /N 1 is always fulfilled. Then G k (z) = [z ε kσ Σ k (z)] 1 acquires a self-energy Σ k (z) = c imp T k (z), (9) which is proportional to the impurity concentration. The scattering matrix T k (z) accounts for the sum of all multi-scattering processes on a single impurity.
4 11.4 Frithjof B. Anders The imaginary part of the self-energy is related to the single-particle life-time τ k : ImΣ k (ε k iδ) = 1/2τ( k), whose value close to the Fermi energy might be mistaken for a transport life-time entering the simple Drude model for the conductance, σ = ne2 τ Drude, (10) m where n is the concentration of electrons. According to Kubo s transport theory [7], however, the conductance is obtained from the current-current correlation function. A closer inspection reveals immediately that this correspondence of single-particle and transport life-time is incorrect in general: Clearly, forward scattering by the T -matrix contributes less to resistance than backward scattering. Hence, the average over the momentum transfer directions is required to connect τ Drude with T k (z). However, we can employ the optical theorem to connect the imaginary part of the forward scattering ImT k (z) to the angular integrated matrix elements ImT k (z) dω k ˆT k 2. Since we deal with isotropic s-wave scattering in the Kondo problem, the T -matrix becomes angular independent and the angular averaging yields τ Drude = τ kf. Just taking the contribution linear in J, the spin-diagonal scattering of conduction electrons reads JS z and the spin flip terms yields k ˆT k = JS, so that all three contributions from the scalar product JS s b add up to ImT = J 2 S(S + 1) + O(J 3 ) using the optical theorem. In second order in J, we just find a constant contribution similar to a residual potential scattering term. Its magnitude, however, is proportional to the square of the effective moment. In order to understand Kondo s theory of the resistance minimum, the second order contribution to the T -matrix [1] kσ ˆT k σ (2) = 1 kσ H K H K k σ (11) z Ĥ0 is needed. Since the details of the calculation can be found in Hewson s book [4], and a similar calculation is presented in the Sec. 2.1 below, we will only state the final result for the resistivity contribution of a single impurity: ρ imp = 3πmJ [ ( ) ] 2 S(S + 1) kb T 1 Jρ(ε 2e 2 F ) ln + O(J 3 ), (12) ε F D where m is the electron mass, ρ(ε F ) the conduction band density of state at the Fermi energy ε F and D the band width. The infrared divergent logarithm arises from the integration of the resolvent 1/(z Ĥ0) 1/(z ε) over all intermediate conduction electron states since the spinflipped local states are degenerate. In a magnetic field, however, the logarithmic divergency will be cut off on the energy scale given by the Zeeman energy. Typically, the bare coupling g = Jρ(ε F ) 1 is small. However, the logarithmic corrections causes an increase in ρ imp for decreasing temperatures and J > 0, which diverges for T 0. The effective scattering rate becomes of the order O(1) at temperatures of an exponentially small energy scale T K T K De 1 ρj, (13)
5 The Kondo Effect 11.5 which is non perturbative in the bare coupling constant ρj. This scale indicates the breakdown of the perturbation theory and is called the Kondo scale. At the heart of the problem are divergent spin-flip contributions, which occur in quantum impurity problems with degenerate local quantum states. 1.2 Anderson model As mentioned already in the introduction, Anderson proposed a model [5] for the understanding of local moment formation in Its simplest version comprises of a single localized spindegenerate level with energy ε d and a Coulomb repulsion U when the level is filled with two electrons of opposite spin. This local Hamiltonian H imp = σ ε d d σd σ + Un n (14) is then trivially diagonalized by the four atomic states 0, σ, 2. For the single particle energy we use the notation ε d which is identical to ε f in Bulla s lecture. This different notation roots historically in the modeling of either d-electron or f-electron systems. Such an atomic orbital [5] is then coupled to a single conduction band H b = kσ ε kσ c kσ c kσ (15) via a hybridization term H mix = kσ V k ( c kσ d σ + d σc kσ ). (16) The local dynamics of the single-impurity Anderson model (SIAM), defined by the Hamiltonian is completely determined by the hybridization function H SIAM = H imp + H b + H mix (17) Γ σ (ω) = π k V k 2 δ(ω ε kσ ). (18) The SIAM and the Kondo model belong to the class of quantum impurity models (QIM) which are defined by a finite number of local degrees of freedom, which are coupled to one or more bath continua. In the regime ε d < 0 and ε d + U > 0, the energies of the empty and double occupied state, 0 and 2, lie above the σ states and can be neglected at low temperatures: a local moment represented by a spin 1/2 is formed. Although local charge fluctuations on the d-level are suppressed at low temperatures and odd integer fillings, virtual exchange of electrons with the conduction are still possible, leading to spin-flip processes. Using a unitary transformation, Schrieffer and Wolff have derived [9] an effective energy dependent Kondo coupling J eff between the local conduction electron and the two local moment states σ. First, the Fock space
6 11.6 Frithjof B. Anders is partitioned into a low energy sector, which contains σ, projected out by ˆP L and its complement ˆP H = (ˆ1 ˆP L ) which includes 0 and 2. The Hamiltonian can then be divided into a diagonal part H d = ˆP L H ˆP L + ˆP H H ˆP H and an off-diagonal part λv = ˆP L H ˆP H + ˆP H H ˆP L. The subsequent unitary transformation U = exp(λs) H = e λs He λs = H d + λ2 2 [S, V ] + n=2 λ n+1 n n + 1! [S, V ] n, (19) is defined by the requirement of eliminating V in first order. The generator S is determined by the condition [S, H d ] = V. Then, the effective Hamiltonian of the low energy subspace H LL = ˆP L H ˆPL = ˆP L H ˆP L + P L λ 2 2 [S, V ]P L + O(λ 3 ) (20) acquires renormalized parameters and additional interaction terms via virtual transitions between the low and the high energy sectors mediated by V up to second order in λ. By applying this transformation to the H SIAM, H K = ˆP λ 2 L [S, V ] ˆP 2 L takes the form of the Kondo interaction [9] H K = 1 J k 2 k c kα σ αβ c k βs k, k αβ ( ) 1 J k k = V k V k ε k (ε d + U) + 1 ε k (ε d + U) 1 ε k ε 1 d ε k ε d since the local low energy sector is only comprised of the two singly occupied spin states σ while 0, 2 P H. For a constant hybridization V k 2 = V 2 and conduction band energies close to the Fermi energy, ε k can be neglected, and J k k J = 2V 2 U/[ε d (ε d + U)] > 0 for the local moment regime where ε d < 0 and ε d + U > 0. At the particle-hole symmetric point ε d = U/2 the dimensionless Kondo coupling ρj = 8Γ 0 /(πu) determines the charge fluctuation scale at, where Γ 0 = Γ (0). We have demonstrated that the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation generates an effective Kondo Hamiltonian for the low energy sector of the SIAM in second order in the hybridization. This clearly reveals the connection between the SIAM, which includes all orbital and spin degrees of freedom, and the Kondo model focusing solely on the local spin degrees of freedom. The numerical renormalization group approach [10, 11], discussed in the lecture of R. Bulla, is able to explicitly track the flow from a free-orbital fixed point for β = 1/T 0 to the Kondo model at intermediate temperatures T/Γ and odd integer fillings of the orbital by iteratively eliminating the high energy degrees of freedom, which involve charge fluctuations. More realistic descriptions of 3d and 4f-shell dynamics requires more than one orbital. H imp is easily generalized from a single to many orbitals: (21) H imp = iσ ε d i n d iσ + σσ mnpq U mnpq d nσd mσ d pσ d nσ. (22)
7 The Kondo Effect 11.7 The direct and exchange Coulomb matrix elements U mnpq will differ but are related by symmetry in the absence of relativistic effects, such as the spin-orbit interaction. This is discussed in more detail in the lecture of R. Eder. The Coulomb interaction in H imp takes the rotational invariant form H U = U 2 J 2 iσ n d iσn d i σ + 2U J 4 m m σ m m σσ d nmσn d m σ J Sm Sm m m d mσd m σd m σd m σ (23) in spin-space by identifying U nnnn = U, U nmmn = U 2J = U, U nmnm = J, U nnmm = J. Clearly, neglecting the orbital pair-transfer term d mσd m σ d m σd m σ breaks this rotational invariance. Since J > 0, the S msm term is responsible for the Hund s rules, which favor the maximizing of the local spin and of the angular momentum by a ferromagnetic alignment. 2 Renormalization group We have learned several important points in the previous sections: (i) The low energy physics of the Kondo effect shows universality and is characterized by a single energy scale T K. (ii) The universality suggests that the problem can be tackled by approaches which were developed in the context of phase transitions: the renormalization group approach. (iii) The perturbative analysis breaks down due to infrared divergencies. These divergencies indicate that the ground state of the starting point, a free conduction band coupled to a single spin, is orthogonal to the ground state of the strong-coupling fixed-point which governs the low energy physics. 2.1 Anderson s poor man s scaling This section covers the simplest perturbative renormalization group (RG) approach to the Kondo model developed by Anderson [12] Although it does not solve the problem, it sets the stage for the deeper understanding of the physics provided by Wilson s numerical renormalization group approach. We begin with the definition of s-wave conduction band annihilation operators c εσ 1 c εσ = δ(ε ε k )c kσ, (24) Nρ(ε) k which are obtained by angular } integrating on a shell of constant energy ε. Starting from the anti-commutator {c kσ, c k σ = δ σσ δ k, k of a discretized system, the prefactor [ Nρ(ε)] 1 ensures the proper normalization of } {c εσ, c ε σ = δ σσ δ(ε ε ) (25)
8 11.8 Frithjof B. Anders in the continuum limit since the density of state ρ(ε) is defined as ρ(ε) = 1 N k δ(ε ε k ). (26) By supplementing the δ-function with some suitable symmetry adapted form factor B( k), δ(ε ε k ) δ(ε ε k )B( k), such as a spherical harmonics Y lm (Ω) or a Fermi surface harmonics [13], we could generalize these operators to the appropriate symmetry beyond simple s-wave scattering considered here. With those operators, the Hamiltonian (1) takes on the continuous form H = dε εc εσc εσ + dε dε J(ε, ε ) c εα σc ε βs imp (27) σ αβ where we have defined J(ε, ε ) = 1J ρ(ε)ρ(ε 2 ). This formulation is still very general. It turns out, however, that the occurrence of the infrared divergence is linked to finite density of states at the Fermi energy. For simplicity, we assume a constant density of states restricted to the interval ε [ D, D]. ρ 0 = 1/(2D) on this energy interval, and the Fermionic operator c ε has the dimension of 1/ E. After introducing the dimensionless coupling constant g = ρ 0 J/2, the dimensionless energy x = ε/d and the dimensionless operators c xσ = Dc εσ, we obtain the dimensionless isotropic Kondo Hamiltonian H = H D = σ 1 dx xc xσc xσ + g dx 1 1 dx αβ c xα σc x β S imp (28) which will be subject to a perturbative renormalization group treatment. Since δ(ε ε ) = δ([x x ]D) = δ(x x )(1/D), the rescaled operators also obey a normalized anti-commutator relation {c xσ, c x σ } = ( D) 2 {c εσ, c ε σ } = Dδ σσ δ(ε ε ) = δ σσ δ(x x ). (29) The key ingredients to any renormalization group (RG) transformation are 1. separation of energy scale 2. eliminating high energy contributions by renormalizing low energy coupling constants 3. rescaling of all parameters and quantum fields In the first step we define the appropriate low and high energy sector ˆP L and ˆP H = 1 ˆP L by partitioning the Fock-space appropriately. In the second step we perform the same transformations as outlined in Eq. (19). By eliminating the coupling between these sectors up to quadratic order, the effective Hamiltonian of the low energy subspace H LL = ˆP L H ˆPL = ˆP L H ˆP L + ˆP L λ 2 2 [S, V ] ˆP L + O(λ 3 ) = H LL + H (2) LL + O(λ3 ) (30) acquires renormalized parameters via virtual transitions between the low and the high energy sectors mediated by V up to the second order in λ.

Since the procedure is rather trivial for the free electron gas, we illustrate the steps on this part of the Hamiltonian. We introduce a dimensionless parameter s > 1 and split H b into two contributions: H b D = σ 1/s 1/s dx xc xσc xσ + σ ( 1/s dx /s dx ) x c xσc xσ. (31) One contribution contains all low energy modes x < 1/s and the other all high energy modes 1/s < x < 1. Defining ˆP L as the operator which projects onto all modes x < 1/s, the Hamiltonian is written as H b = ˆP L H b ˆPL + ˆP H H b ˆPH and, therefore, V = 0. Focusing on the low energy part H b = H LL = ˆP L H b ˆPL = σ 1/s 1/s dx x c xσc xσ (32) we have to rescale the energy modes x to x = sx in order to restore the original mode distribution x < 1 and obtain H b = 1 s 2 dx x c x(x )σ c x(x )σ. (33) σ 1 Since original Fermionic operators have the dimension 1/ E, they must also be scaled as c x = sc x(x )σ on expansion of the scale from 1/s 1, which leads to H b = 1 s σ 1 1 dx x c x σ c x σ. (34) This completes the third and last step of the RG procedure. The dimensionful Hamiltonian H b remains invariant under the mode elimination procedure if H b /D = H b /D. Comparing the rescaling of the integrals and fields after the mode elimination, Eq. (34) yields the scaling equation of the band width: D = D/s. Such an invariance is called a fixed point under the RG transformation, and the Hamiltonian of the free electron gas is obviously such a fixed point Hamiltonian.
10 11.10 Frithjof B. Anders Before we come back to the Kondo interaction, we briefly review the scaling of an additional local Coulomb interaction H U c x 1 σc x 2 σ c x3 σ c x 4 σ under the RG transformation. Performing the same RG steps in linear order, we accumulate [s 1/2 ] 4 for the rescaling of the four fields and [s 1 ] 4 for the four integral transformation, s 2 in total. The Coulomb interaction is irrelevant since it vanishes under the RG flow. As a consequence, we, therefore, expect a local Fermiliquid with vanishing scattering cross sections ω 2 at T 0, described by the strong-coupling fixed-point. Since we have understood the transformation of the free electron gas, we can add the dimensionless Kondo interaction H K H K = 1 2 α,β i=x,y,z dx 1 dx 2 c x 1 αc x2 β g i σ i τ i, (35) αβ to the H b and investigate H = H b + H K under this RG transformation. In this expression, the local spin is represented by S loc = τ/2 and g = ρ 0 J/2 is generalized to three components g i which include the anisotropic Kondo models. Performing the unitary transformation (20), the low energy sector of H K contributes to H in linear order via H d = ˆP L H int ˆPL + ˆP H H int ˆPH. Additionally it generates the off-diagonal part V = ˆP L H K ˆPH + ˆP H H K ˆPL for the Schrieffer-Wolff type transformation. Since the term linear in g, H d is invariant under the RG transformation, H K is called a marginal operator in the vicinity of the local moment fixed point defined by H K = 0. In order to decide whether it is a relevant or irrelevant marginal operator, we have to go to second order in g. Using the eigenstates of H d, p of the low-energy and q of the high-energy sector of the Fock space, we derive with the condition, [S, H d ] = V H (2) LL = p,p p p ( V pq V qp q 1 E p E q + 1 E p E q ). (36) H K contains a spin-spin interaction bilinear in the conduction electron operators. Therefore, one of the operators in c x 1 αc x2 β must contain a high-energy particle or hole excitation in V which is connected with the same conduction electron mode to one conduction electron line integrated out by mode elimination. Those matrix elements of H (2) LL can be calculated diagrammatically using the two diagrams depicted in Fig. 1(a) and (b). Again, we eliminate a very thin shell of high energy excitations of width l = 1 1/s = D/D, and the two diagrammatic contributions yield the quadratic corrections to g i H (2) LL = l αβ 1/s 1/s 1/s 1/s dx 1 dx 2 c x 1 αc x2 β (g x g y τ z σ z + g y g z τ x σ x + g x g z τ y σ y ). (37) In the derivation of these equations, we have used the eigenstates of H b and neglected the correction generated by H K. This is a further approximation since the construction of S requires eigenstates of H d and not only of H b. This clearly restricts the validity of the flow equations derived below to small values of g i. The flow of the effective band width dd/d = dl is used to eliminate l. The combination of the infinitesimal change H (2) LL in the limit l dl with the linear contribution of H K to the
11 The Kondo Effect g g z Fig. 2: Flow of the coupling constants g z and g, which is given by a set of hyperbolic curve as show in Eq. (39). For transverse coupling g > g z, the Kondo coupling always flows to the strong-coupling fixed-point g z, g. For a ferromagnetic g z < 0, g renormalized to g = 0 where the RG-flow stops. low-energy sector, P L H K P L, yields the three perturbative RG equations dg x d ln D = 2gy g z (38a) dg y d ln D = 2gx g z (38b) dg z d ln D = 2gx g y (38c) for the parameter flow of the coupling constants. Fixed points of those flow equations are defined by dg i /d ln D = 0 for all i = x, y, z. These equations are called poor man s scaling in the literature. In the transversal Kondo model defined by two independent parameters g z and g = g x = g y these equations reduce to dg d ln D = 2g g z ; dg z d ln D = 2g2, (39) from which we obtain by integration [g z ] 2 g 2 = const. Therefore, the flow of the parameters g z and g are located on a hyperbolic curve in the parameter space (g z, g ) which is depicted in figure 2. Since the RG-flow in Eq. (39) alway stops when g vanishes, (g z, 0) defines a line of fixed points for [g z ] 2 g 2 > 0 and gz < 0. If the transverse coupling is larger than the ferromagnetic coupling g z, g z < 0, the transversal coupling g remains finite for g z = 0 and induces a sign change of g z. The couplings flow to the strong-coupling fixed-point (g, g z ) (, ). These flow equations have one stable fixed point (g z, g ) = (, ) and one line of fixed points (g z, 0). The latter are stable for a ferromagnetic g z < 0 and unstable for g z > 0. For a fully isotropic Kondo coupling, g = g z = g, we only need to integrate the single differential equation dg d ln D = β(g) = 2g2. (40)
12 11.12 Frithjof B. Anders The function β(g) is called the β-function in the literature and determines how the coupling constants flow while reducing the band width: a negative β-function is a signature of weak interactions at high-energies and a growing interaction strength while reducing the band width. With the initial values of the model D 0, g 0, we integrate this differential equation to g(d ) = g g 0 ln(d 0 /D ). (41) This solution obviously breaks down at a low energy scale T K = D at which the denominator diverges: T K = D 0 e 1/2g 0 = D 0 e 1/ρ 0J. (42) However, the poor-man scaling approach is only valid for small coupling constants g, since higher order processes will modify the β-function. Nevertheless, we can use the new energy scale to express the running coupling constant g(d ) as function of T K g(d ) = 1 ln(d /T K ) (43) which removes all reference to the original parameters. The coupling constant became an universal function of the ratio between cutoff and the new characteristic low energy scale T K. How can we understand the divergence of the effective coupling constant? If we let g, we can ignore the kinetic energy of the conduction electrons for a moment and focus on the local Kondo interaction (35): H K = 1 2 µ=x,y,z α,β c 0αc 0β g µ σ µ αβ τ µ, (44) where c 0σ = 1 1 dxc xσ. Since H K conserves spin and charge, a singlet and a triplet state is formed for n c = 1, while the empty and doubly occupied conduction electron state does not couple to the local spin. The singlet has the energy of 3/2g, the three triplet states lie at the energy g/2 and the other two at E = 0. In the anti-ferromagnetic case g > 0, the ground state is a singlet, which is energetically decoupled from the rest of the conduction electrons for g. The ground state in this strong-coupling limit will be a free electron gas with one electron removed and absorbed into this bound state. Hence, the ground state is orthogonal to the ground state of the local moment fixed point we started with. That is the reason why these ground states cannot be connected via perturbation theory. Since the scattering turns out to be irrelevant in the vicinity of this so-called strong-coupling fixed-point, it is a stable fixed point under the RG transformation. Although the presented perturbative RG fails to solve the Kondo problem, it already proves that the original Kondo Hamiltonian is unstable in second order of g and predicts the correct crossover scale T K. However, the divergence of the coupling constant happens already at a finite cutoff D = T K which must be an artifact of the approximation used since the model cannot have any phase transition at finite temperature. The correct solution can only be obtained by the numerical renormalization group [14, 15] or the Bethe ansatz [16].
13 The Kondo Effect Wilson s numerical renormalization group approach Although Anderson s perturbative RG has already provided some deeper physical insight, its perturbative nature restricts its validity to a close range around its starting point: it cannot access the crossover regime from high to low temperature. The Hamiltonian of a quantum impurity system is generally given by H = H bath + H imp + H mix, (45) where H bath models the continuous bath, H imp represents the decoupled impurity, and H mix accounts for the coupling between the two subsystems. Such a system can be accurately solved using Wilson s numerical renormalization group (NRG) [14, 15]. At the heart of this approach is a logarithmic discretization of the continuous bath, controlled by the discretization parameter Λ > 1. The continuum limit is recovered for Λ 1. Using an appropriate unitary transformation, the Hamiltonian is then mapped onto a semiinfinite chain, with the impurity coupled to the open end. The nth link along the chain represents an exponentially decreasing energy scale: D n Λ n/2 for a fermionic bath [14] and D n Λ n for a bosonic bath [17]. Using this hierarchy of scales, the sequence of dimensionless finite-size Hamiltonians Λ (N 1)/2 H N = 2 D (1 + Λ 1 ) (H imp + H mix ) + N Λ (n 1)/2 ε nα f nαf nα (46) α n=0 + N 1 Λ n/2 t nα (f nαf n+1α + f n+1αf nα ) α n=0 for the N-site chain is solved iteratively, discarding the high-energy states at the conclusion of each step to maintain a manageable number of states. This reduced basis set of H N is expected to faithfully describe the spectrum of the full Hamiltonian on a scale of D N, corresponding to a temperature T N D N. Note that the dimensionless energies ε nα and tight-binding parameters t nα are of the order O(1). In general, α labels all independent flavor and spin degrees of freedoms of the bath Hamiltonian. In the case of the single-band Kondo model, α denotes only the two spin states of the conduction electron band. The parameters ε nα and t nα encode all relevant details of a non-constant density of states. Therefore, the NRG can be applied to pseudo-gap systems and used as an impurity solver for the dynamical mean field theory where in the self-consistently obtained coupling function Γ (ω) the lattice information and the formation of a Mott-Hubbard insulator is encoded [15]. The details on the connection between the coupling function Γ (ω) and the NRG parameters ε nα and t nα will be connected in R. Bulla s subsequence lecture. We have followed the notation of Ref. [10, 11] where a mapped bath electron of flavor α is created (annihilated) by f nα(f nα ) at chain link n while in Bulla s lecture c nσ(c nσ ) is used for the
14 11.14 Frithjof B. Anders same operators. We also defined the Hamiltonian H N in accordance with the original literature, while Bulla kept the factor D/[2(1 + Λ 1 )] in his definition of H N. We also emphasize the energy hierarchy by making the exponential decay of the tight binding parameters explicitly. The dimensionless parameters ε nα and t nα and those used in Bulla s lecture are connected by ε n = D (1 + Λ 1 ) Λ (n 1)/2 t nα 2 t n = D (1 + Λ 1 ) Λ n/2 t nα 2 (47a) (47b) Due to the exponential form of the Boltzmann factors in the density operator, ˆρ = exp( βh)/z, the reduced NRG basis set of H N is sufficient for an accurate calculation of thermodynamic quantities at temperature T N. The fixed points under the RG transformation H N+1 = ΛH N + ( ) ε N+1α f N+1α f N+1α + t Nα (f Nα f N+1α + f N+1α f Nα) (48) α determines the thermodynamics properties and allows deep insight into the physics of the system. In SIAM, they have been explicitly stated in Refs. [10,11]. It has been shown [14] that the Kondo temperature indeed determines the crossover scale from the local moment fixed point to the strong-coupling fixed-point. T K is the only relevant energy scale at low temperatures so that all physical properties can be obtained from universal scaling functions for T/T K and ω/t K < 1. More details on the NRG and its power can be found in the lecture by R. Bulla or the NRG review [15] he co-authored. 2.3 Exotic Kondo effects in metals In the previous section we have focused on the simplest case of a single spin-degenerate band coupled anti-ferromagnetically to a single local spin S = 1/2. The Kondo temperature T K defines the crossover scale below which a singlet ground state emerges and the local spin is asymptotically screened. How does the physics change if we couple a local spin with S > 1/2 to a single conduction band, or a spin S = 1/2 to more than one spin-degenerate conduction electron band? We have discussed above that a Kondo Hamiltonian can be derived as an effective low energy Hamiltonian by applying a Schrieffer-Wolff (SW) transformation to the SIAM. If we consider its multi-orbital extension, Eq. (22), a much richer variety of impurity ground states emerge after freezing out the charge fluctuations. In Mn, Co, or other transition metal ions, Hund s rules generate a ground state spin S > 1/2, while point group symmetries in lattices or ligand symmetries in molecules [18] can suppress the hybridization to more than one conduction band. After a SW-transformation we could end up with an under-compensated Kondo model, schematically depicted in Fig. 3(c). The single conduction electron band will partially screen the local spin S to an effective spin S = S 1/2 which asymptotically decouples from the conduction band. It turns out that the RG fixed point is similar to the strong-coupling fixed-point,
15 The Kondo Effect but with a degeneracy of 2S remaining. The remaining very weakly coupled magnetic scatterer significantly modifies the universal functions describing the physical properties at temperatures T < T K, and corrections to the T 2 behavior of a Fermi liquid are found. Hence, it is also called a singular Fermi-liquid which is characterized by a residual impurity entropy S loc = log(2s). The impurity entropy S loc is defined as the difference of the total entropy and the entropy of the conduction band without impurity. In the overcompensated Kondo model (M > 1) H K = M J αs sb,α, (49) α=1 no Kondo singlet ground state can be formed by the local S = 1/2 impurity spin and the local conduction electron spins s b,α, a consequence of the flavor conservation in such models. However, such flavor conservation is very hard to obtain from the SW transformation and might only occur in very exotic systems due to symmetry restrictions. Such models are characterized by an additional unstable intermediate-coupling fixed-point which can be understood by a simple argument: In very weak coupling g α = ρ 0 J α /2 0, the poor man s scaling is applicable and g α increases as we have discussed in the previous section. However, in the opposite limit, 1/g α 0, we only need to consider one localized conduction electron in each channel α coupled to the local spin and treat the kinetic energy as perturbation. The ground state for anti-ferromagnetic g is formed by a composite S = M S spin, which remains coupled to the rest of the conduction electrons by an effective matrix element of the order of the band width. Hence, an effective Kondo model is generated in which the coupling has been reduced from g α 1 to g eff 1. A detailed analysis proves [19] that the large coupling flows to smaller couplings, and the small couplings increase. Hence, both must flow to a fixed point of intermediate coupling strength. This requires the inclusion of the third order contributions to the β-function in Eq. (40). In the case of the isotropic two-channel Kondo model, S = 1/2 and M = 2, it takes the simple form β(g) = g 2 + g 3 for a uniform Kondo coupling. In addition to the trivial fixed-point, g = 0, it has an intermediate fixed-point β(g c = 1) = 0 [19]. It is interesting to note that the intermediate-coupling fixed-point impurity entropy reaches (k B /2) log(2), indicating that a Majorana fermion decouples [20] from the system in the low energy limit. However, this fixed point is unstable against breaking of channel and spin symmetry. Under channel symmetry breaking, i.e. J 1 J 2, the RG flow renormalizes J max = max(j 1, J 2 ) and J min = min(j 1, J 2 ) 0: the channel with the larger coupling forms a normal Kondo singlet while the other channel decouples. In Fig. 3(a), the temperature dependent local entropy S loc for the three cases, the compensated (black), the under-compensated (red) and the overcompensated (blue) model is depicted. For the compensated Kondo model, S loc k B log(2) at high temperature, which is reduced to S loc 0 for T 0 indicating the Kondo singlet formation. This corresponds to a vanishing effective local moment on the temperature scale T K 10 5 D. The under-compensated model presented here comprises of a two-orbital Anderson model with a ferromagnetic Hund s rule coupling in Eq. (22), coupled to single conduction electron band.

(c) the local S > 1/2 coupled to one conduction spin is under-compensated, (d) a spin S = 1/2 is coupled to two conduction bands which is described by the two-channel Kondo model. For T, the free orbital fixed point is 2 4 -fold degenerate resulting in S loc (β = 0) = 4k B log(2). As depicted in Fig. 3(a), it approaches k B log(2) for T 0, indicating an unscreened decoupled S = 1/2 degree of freedom. S loc (T ) for the overcompensated two-channel Anderson model [21 23] is shown as a blue curve. Starting from 4-fold degenerate local orbital fixed point, an effective two-channel Kondo model is found in the interval 10 3 < T/D < 10 1, and approaches the intermediate-coupling two-channel Kondo fixed point value of S loc k B log(2)/2. By applying a weak external magnetic field of H = 10 4 Γ 0, the two-channel symmetry is broken and a crossover to the strong-couping fixed point is observed blue dotted line in Fig. 3(a). The crossover is governed by the scale T H 2 /T K. The effective magnetic moment µ 2 eff tracks the H = 0 curve up T and approaches a finite value induced by the finite magnetic field. This model has originally been proposed by Cox [21] for uranium-based Heavy Fermions in which the U 5f-shell is doubly occupied. It predicts an orbital Kondo effect where the nonmagnetic Γ 3 doublet is screened by a four-fold degenerate Γ 8 conduction band. Experimentally, however, there is still no evidence for the realization of such a two-channel Kondo fixed point.
17 The Kondo Effect Kondo effect in lattice systems 3.1 Heavy Fermion materials Heavy Fermions [24] are Ce and U based metallic compounds which show a strongly enhanced γ-coefficient of the specific heat. Typically an enhancement over simple Cu of a factor of is found. Since γ m in a simple effective Fermi-liquid theory, the name Heavy Fermions was coined for this material class. It has been noted that the additional magnetic contribution to the specific heat scales with the number of magnetic ions upon substitution with non-magnetic elements such as La [24]. Apparently the major contribution in such strongly correlated materials stems from the electrons in the localized 4f or 5f-shells. Early on, local approximations were proposed [25, 26] in which each Ce or U site is treated as an independent Kondo scatterer interacting with an averaged conduction band. Coherence is recovered by summing up all single particle scattering events on a periodic lattice [24]. The most simplified description starts from a singly occupied 4f-shell of Ce. Employing Hund s rules, spin-orbit coupling yields a J = 5/2 ground state multiplet which is quenched by the lattice point group symmetry either to a quartet and doublet in cubic crystal, or three Kramers doublets in a tetragonal environment. Taking into account only a single Kramers doublet on each 4f-shell and hybridizing the orbital with one effective conduction band defines the periodic extension of the Anderson model (PAM) H = ε f i f iσ f iσ + Un i n i + ε kσ c kσ c kσ + ( ) V k e i kr i f iσ c kσ + e i kr i c kσ f iσ, (50) iσ kσ i, k,σ where f iσ annihilates an f-electron at lattice site i with spin σ. Although this model can already explain some basic properties of HF materials [24], a more realistic description requires the full J = 5/2 ground state multiplet structure, since experimentally the influence of crystal-field effects are clearly seen in the specific heat or transport measurements [24]. As mentioned above, experimental evidence has indicated that the magnetic contribution to the specific heat scales with number of magnetic Lanthanide ions, hinting towards locally generated strong correlations. It was proposed that the single-particle dispersion can be calculated using a local t-matrix which accounts for all local correlations, while different lattice [25] sites are linked only by a free propagation of electrons. A physically intuitive picture emerges: at the chemical potential, the electrons are mainly trapped in local Kondo-resonances and propagate only rather rarely from site to site. On a larger length scale, a very slow coherent motion is generated which is equivalent to a quasi-particle with a large effective mass. 3.2 Dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) The combination of local-density approximation (LDA) and DMFT for realistic description of material properties of a large variety of strongly correlated electron systems has been the topic of the last year s school [27] entitled The LDA+DMFT approach to strongly correlated materials.
18 11.18 Frithjof B. Anders In DMFT, the k-dependence of the lattice self-energy is neglected. The original idea for such a local approximation dates back to the mid 1980s [25, 26, 28] and has been applied to Heavy Fermion systems. In 1989, it was proven that such an approximation has an exact limit in infinite spatial dimensions [29 31] which broaden the applicability of this approximation to a much larger range of problems. The basic idea of the DMFT [32, 33] can be summarized as follows: One picks out a single lattice site or a unit-cell. Instead of solving the local dynamics embedded in the full lattice exactly, which is usually not possible, the rest of the interacting lattice is replaced by a fictitious tight-binding model. This implies that two-particle and higher order correlation functions are treated as factorized, which imposes restrictions on the applicability of the theory to phasetransitions. This is augmented by a self-consistency condition (SCC) which equates the local lattice Green function G lat (z) G lat (z) = 1 G k (z) = 1 1 N N z ε k Σ(z) = G loc(z) (51) k k with the local Green function G loc (z) of such an effective site. This effective site of the DMFT is equivalent to an Anderson impurity model as defined in Sec. (1.2), and its local dynamics is determined by G loc (z) = [z ε d Σ(z) (z)] 1. It requires the knowledge of the local orbital energy ε d, the local Coulomb repulsion U and the hybridization function Γ (ω) = Im (ω iδ). In the subsequent lecture by Bulla, the notation (z) will be used instead of (z) ( (z)) for a single impurity problem (effective DMFT site). Since Γ (ω) can be interpreted as energy dependent single orbital decay rate in the absence of any Coulomb interaction, we used the letter Γ in this lecture while Bulla denotes the same quantity as (ω). In the literature, both notations are found for the same quantity. For single band lattice models such as the PAM, Eq. (50), or the Hubbard model H = iσ ε d i c iσ c iσ ij t ij (c iσ c jσ + c jσ c iσ ) + Un i n i (52) the effective site is given by Eq. (17) and can be easily extended to multi-orbital models [27] required for realistic transition metal compounds with partially filled 3d-shells. In the latter case, Eq. (51) acquires a matrix form and the multi-orbital SIAM introduced in Sec. (1.2) is used to describe the effective site. The self-consistent solution is obtained iteratively: after an initial guess of (z), the dynamics of effective SIAM is calculated. Then its local self-energy Σ(z) is used to obtain G lat (z) via Eq. (51). Equating it with G loc (z) yields a new (z) for the next step of the iteration. Usually convergence can be achieved in iterations. 3.3 Impurity solver It turns out that the k-summation in Eq. (51) is the computationally least expensive part of the DMFT iteration, even for multi-orbital problems. The calculation of local self-energy of a

T K = 0.021Γ. The inset in (a) shows the behavior of Σ(ω) for ω/t K < 1. single or multi-orbital SIAM remains the major challenge since the Kondo problem lies at the heart of these quantum impurity problems. In the 1970s, it was shown that equation-of-motion techniques fail to describe the Kondo physics of the Anderson model. The perturbation expansion in U [34] was successful in accounting for the local Fermi liquid properties which develop adiabatically from the solution of the resonant level model. However, such conserving approximations [35,36] are not able to generate the correct energy scale T K which is exponentially dependent on U; they remain restricted to the weakly correlated regime U/(πΓ ) 1. In the early 1980s, the non-crossing approximation [37 39] was developed. It starts out from the atomic limit and includes the local Coulomb interaction exactly. The hybridization is then considered as small compared to other energy scales, so it only included in the leading-order diagrams. Although this approach contains the correct energy scale up to some small correction, it remains essentially a high-temperature expansion, since the local Fermi-liquid is not described correctly. Friedel s sum rule is violated and the extracted ImΣ(ω iδ) becomes negative at low temperatures T T K. Only for the two-channel Anderson model, this approach yields remarkably good results [21, 19] such as the correct power law of the self-energy. Huge progress was made with the advent of quantum Monte Carlo algorithms [41] which yield, at least in principle, the correct dynamics. In practice, such approaches have two drawbacks: (i) they rely on a Trotter decomposition which limits the lowest accessible temperature. For typical parameters in high-temperature superconductors, this would often correspond to K. (ii) The results are obtained on the imaginary time axis leaving an ill-defined problem of reconstructing the spectral function [42]. Nevertheless, new QMC approaches, based the expansion of the partition function Z rather
20 11.20 Frithjof B. Anders than on a Trotter decomposition, the so-called continuous-time QMC algorithms (CT-QMC) boosted the applicability range considerably and became standard within a few years (for a detailed comprehensive review see [43] and P. Werner s lecture in Ref. [27]). In the CT-QMC, the partition function Z is either expanded in the Coulomb-interaction, called the weak-coupling CT-QMC, or, similarly to the NCA, in the hybridization, called the strong-coupling CT-QMC. One of the big advantages of those solvers are that they scale very well with the number of the local orbitals. However, the sign problem of the fermionic determinants often restricts the applicability of QMC solvers to density-density type inter-orbital interactions, which breaks rotational invariance in spin-space. Wilson s NRG has also been successfully employed as an impurity solver. While this approach includes the correct solution of any Kondo problem, the numerical effort scales exponentially with the number of conduction bands, which essentially limits the approach to two-band models, far from the five-band multi-orbitial models required, e.g., for FeAs based superconductors. A typical result for the dynamical properties of the single-orbital symmetric SIAM obtained using the NRG is shown in Fig. 4. The spectral function exhibits reminiscences of the two charge excitation peaks at ω ε d and ε d +U each carrying half of the spectral weight and are broadened by 2Γ (0). Clearly visible is a narrow peak called Kondo or Abrikosov-Suhl resonance. The peak height is pinned to approximately 1/(πΓ (0)) due to the Friedel sum rule [44]. We have discussed already that the strong-coupling fixed-point is a Fermi-liquid, since asymptotically the electron-electron scattering is freezing out for ω 0. As a consequence, the imaginary selfenergy shows a quadratic behavior ImΣ(ω iδ) (ω/t K ) 2 for frequencies (ω/t K ) 2 1 which is depicted in the inset of Fig. 4(a). Recovering a local Fermi-liquid on exponentially small energy scales T K exp( 1/ρJ eff ) with a pinned resonance close to ω = 0 in accordance with the Friedel sum rule remains the biggest challenge for any impurity solver. This low energy spectral behavior converts immediately into the quasi-particle band formation in the DMFT as can be seen from the analytic form of the lattice Green function G k (z) = [z ε k Σ(z)] 1. For a true lattice solution, the full energy dependence of the self-consistently obtained hybridization function Γ (ω) plays a crucial role. This is neglected in Fig. 4 as it is beyond the scope of this lecture. 4 Kondo effect in nano-devices In this section, a brief introduction to the Kondo-effect in nano-devices such as single-electron transistors (SET) is given. In the 1980s huge progress has been made in structuring semiconductors which opened new possibilities for designing nano-devices using semiconductor hetero-junctions. In 1998, David Goldhaber-Gordon demonstrate in a seminal paper [45] that the Kondo effect can also be observed in single-electron transistors [46]. We illustrate the connection to the Anderson model and also discuss how in larger quantum boxes a two-channel charge Kondo effect has been predicted by Matveev [47]. Combining a single-electron transistor with a quantum box might yield the first physical realization of a two-channel Kondo model [48].

Colombo: Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat against Sri Lanka in the finals of Compaq Cup at Colombo on Monday.
Notable change in the India side is replacement of Dinesh Karthik by Virat Kohli. Sri Lanka are playing the same side from Saturday.
Scorecard: India Vs Sri Lanka, Final
Dhoni's men have the opportunity to clinch their first final in a multi-nation event in almost 11 years in the island nation.
India had last won the final of a major one-day event on Lankan soil in 1998 and then shared the rain-marred ICC Champions Trophy with the hosts in 2002.
India lost to Sri Lanka by 139 runs last night in their second match of the tournament, there by ending their brief stay at the number one position in the ICC ODI rankings. It was India's biggest defeat on Sri Lankan soil.
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumar Sangakkara(w/c), Mahela Jayawardene, Chamara Kapugedera, Thilina Kandamby, Angelo Mathews, Nuwan Kulasekara, Thilan Thushara, Ajantha Mendis, Lasith Malinga

Spot: "Thanda" means love in Zulu, and there's plenty to go gaga over here. Set in 14,000 hectares of northern Zululand, the reserve has rehabilitated the area and brought back native species to the area, including the Big Five: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros. When guests return from game drives in the Land Rover, luxurious living awaits, in the main lodge, safari-style tented camp or the grand Royal Private Villa. When you leave your suite—with its viewing decks and big bathtubs—there are other places to while away an afternoon, including the library, well-stoked wine cellar, cigar bar and picturesque dining areas. With the Indian Ocean nearby, there's also a host of water activities to take part in, say, diving, deep sea fishing or whale watching.
Highlight: You come here for the safari, but don't neglect the award-winning spa. Their wellness center includes hot and cold hydrotherapy pools, a reflexology pool, outdoor sala treatment area and steam room. Reflexology, aromatherapy, hot stone massage and pressure point scalp massage are their specialties and they use scrumptious natural ingredients including essential oils, honey, yogurt and crushed papaya to rub you into a state of total relaxation. For those who don't like to go a week without a good manicure and pedicure, they'll take care of you too.

Branson's naked body is tied down to the table, wearing just his sports socks. Franco tickles him all over, but his size 11 feet are the most ticklish spot on the lean lad. Franco pulls of his socks and continues to tickle torture him. All the touching causes Franco to get hard, and he decides to shoot his load over Branson's feet.
