Measuring the Kondo effect in the Aharonov-Bohm interferometer
  The conductance ${\cal G}$ of an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer (ABI), with a strongly correlated quantum dot on one arm, is expressed in terms of the dot Green function, $G_{dd}$, the magnetic flux $\phi$ and the non-interacting parameters of the ABI. We show that one can extract $G_{dd}$ from the observed oscillations of ${\cal G}$ with $\phi$, for both closed and open ABI's. In the latter case, the phase shift $\beta$ deduced from ${\cal G} \approx A+B\cos(\phi+\beta)$ depends strongly on the ABI's parameters, and usually $\beta \ne \pi/2$. These parameters may also reduce the Kondo temperature, eliminating the Kondo behavior.
