    Bosonization in the two-channel Kondo model

    Full text link
    The bosonization of the S=1/2S=1/2 anisotropic two-channel Kondo model is shown to yield two equivalent representations of the original problem. In a straight forward extension of the Emery-Kivelson approach, the interacting resonant level model previously derived by the Anderson-Yuval technique is obtained. In addition, however, a ``(σ\sigma,τ\tau)'' description is also found. The strong coupling fixed point of the (σ\sigma,τ\tau) model was originally postulated to be related to the intermediate coupling fixed point of the two-channel Kondo model. The equivalence of the σ\sigma,τ\tau model to the two-channel Kondo model is formally established. A summary of what one may learn from a simple study of these different representations is also given.Comment: 5 pages, latex (uses revtex and epsf macros) with 1 postscript figur
