1/(N − 1) expansion approach to full-counting statistics for the SU(N) Anderson model
Akira Oguri, Rui Sakano
Abstract
We apply a recently developed 1/( N − 1) expansion to the full-counting statistics for the N -fold degenerate Anderson impurity model in the Kondo regime. This approach is based on the perturbation theory in the Coulomb interaction U and is different from the conventional large- N theories, such as the usual 1/ N expansion and non-crossing approximation. We have confirmed that the calculations carried out up to order 1/( N − 1) 2 agree closely with those of the numerical renormalization group at N = 4, where the degeneracy is still not so large. This ensures the applicability of our approach for N ≥ 4. We present the results of the cumulants of the probability distribution function for a nonequilibrium current through a quantum dot in the particle-hole symmetric case.
