Summary

Deals with magnetism in itinerant systems. It starts with the Stoner mean-field theory, as derived from a simple Hubbard model, and Stoner excitations and spin-waves obtained with the aid of RPA. The concept of nesting and spin-density waves is then discussed. This is followed by a detailed presentation of Anderson’s magnetic impurity model and its relation to the Kondo model through the Schrieffer–Wolff transformation. Finally, a detailed account of the Kondo effect and the Kondo resonance is given.
