摘要
The non-Fermi-liquid fixed point of the overscreened Kondo problem is studied in the limit of a large number of conduction electron channels, k >> 1, using perturbation theory in 1/k. By expanding the beta function and self-energy to sub-leading-order in 1/k, we examine the scaling, thermodynamics, and dynamic response functions in detail. Our results compliment and extend previous work based on conformal field theory. We present the dynamical spin susceptibility for the first time and show that the impurity spin is marginally quenched, with an inelastic linewidth of order T.
