Abstract

We study the higher-order Fermi-liquid relations of Kondo systems for arbitrary impurity-electron fillings, extending the many-body quantum theoretical approach of Yamada-Yosida. It includes partly a microscopic clarification of the related achievements based on Nozi\`{e}res' phenomenological description: Filippone, Moca, von Delft, and Mora [Phys.\ Rev.\ B {\bf 95}, 165404 (2017)]. In our formulation, the Fermi-liquid parameters such as the quasi-particle energy, damping, and transport coefficients are related to each other through the total vertex $\Gamma_{\sigma\sigma';\sigma'\sigma} (\omega, \omega'; \omega', \omega)$, which may be regarded as a generalized Landau quasi-particle interaction. We obtain exactly this function up to linear order with respect to the frequencies $\omega$ and $\omega'$ using the anti-symmetry and analytic properties. The coefficients acquire additional contributions of three-body fluctuations away from half-filling through the non-linear susceptibilities. We also apply the formulation to non-equilibrium transport through a quantum dot, and clarify how the zero-bias peak evolves in a magnetic field.
