SIMPLE DESCRIPTION OF THE ANISOTROPIC 2-CHANNEL KONDO PROBLEM

We adapt the strong-coupling method first used in the one-channel Kond o model to develop a simple description of the spin-1/2 two-channel Ko ndo model with channel anisotropy. Our method exploits spin-charge dec oupling to develop a compactified Hamiltonian that describes the spin excitations. The structure of the fixed-point Hamiltonian and quasipar ticle impurity S matrix are incompatible with a Fermi-liquid descripti on.
