  11. Conclusions • Two effective channels coupled to the impurity (FM, AFM). No possibility of two-channel Kondo. • Quadratic bands at half filling, no need of a critical J for having Kondo. • At half-fillingtheresults reduce toaneffective single layerproblem. • Awayfromhalffilling, problemwith SW transformation(jump in DOS, interbandscattering, higherorderterms in SW).
