\begin{itemize}
\item [N.~Andrei, 1980]:
$$
H=H_0+V
$$
\itemptchange{$\scriptstyle\blacktriangleright$}
\begin{itemize}
\item $H_0$: kinetic term of the {\it electrons}
$$
H_0:=\sum_{x}\sum_{\alpha=\uparrow,\downarrow}c^\dagger_\alpha(x)\,\left(-\frac{\Delta}2-1\right)\,c_\alpha(x)
$$
\item $V$: interaction with the {\it impurity}
$$
V=-\lambda_0\sum_{j=1,2,3}\sum_{\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3,\alpha_4}c^\dagger_{\alpha_1}(0)\sigma^j_{\alpha_1,\alpha_2}c_{\alpha_2}(0)\, d^\dagger_{\alpha_3}\sigma^j_{\alpha_3,\alpha_4}d_{\alpha_4}

\title{Kondo effect: magnetic susceptibility}
\begin{itemize}
\item Non-interacting magnetic susceptibility
\itemptchange{$\scriptstyle\blacktriangleright$}
\begin{itemize}
\item Isolated impurity: $\chi^{(0)}(0,\beta)\displaystyle\mathop{\longrightarrow}_{\beta\to\infty}\infty$
\item Chain of electrons: $\displaystyle\lim_{\beta\to\infty}\lim_{L\to\infty}\frac1L\chi_e(0,\beta)<\infty.$
\end{itemize}
\itemptreset
\item Anti-ferromagnetic interaction: $\lambda_0<0$:
$$
\lim_{\beta\to\infty}\chi^{(\lambda_0)}(0,\beta)<\infty.
$$
\item {\it Non-perturbative} effect: the qualitative behavior changes as soon as $\lambda_0\neq0$.

\title{Previous results}
\begin{itemize}
\item [J.~Kondo, 1964]: third order Born approximation.
\vskip0pt plus3fil
\item [P.~Anderson, 1970], [K.~Wilson, 1975]: renormalization group approach
\itemptchange{$\scriptstyle\blacktriangleright$ }
\begin{itemize}
\item Sequence of effective Hamiltonians at varying energy scales.
\item For anti-ferromagnetic interactions, the effective Hamiltonians go to a {\it non-trivial fixed point}.
\end{itemize}
\itemptreset
\item{\tt Remark}: [N.~Andrei, 1980]: the Kondo model (suitably linearized) is exactly solvable via Bethe Ansatz.
\end{itemize}

\title{Current results}
\begin{itemize}
\item Hierarchical Kondo model: idealization of the Kondo model that shares its scaling properties.
\item It is {\it exactly solvable}: the map relating the effective theories at different scales is {\it explicit} (no perturbative expansions).
\item For $\lambda_0<0$, the flow tends to a non-trivial fixed point, and $\chi^{(\lambda_0)}<\infty$ in the $\beta\to\infty$ limit (Kondo effect).
