After giving a concise overview of the theory of transport and Kondo effect through a single electron transistor, we discuss how SU(4) Kondo effect develops in dots having orbitally degenerate states and in double dot systems, and then study the singlet-triplet transition in lateral quantum dots. Charge fluctuations and Matveev's mapping to the two-channel Kondo model in the vicinity of charge degeneracy point are also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-05-31T16:11:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "orbital fluctuations", "strong correlations", "kondo effect", "quantum dot systems", "lateral quantum dots" ], "tags": [ "lecture notes", "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
