29. We expect that a finite (Formula presented)-electron interaction, (Formula presented), will lead only to a slight renormalization of (Formula presented). Recently, an Anderson impurity embedded in a correlated host (without magnetic order) was studied

33. A lowest-order perturbation calculation shows that for (Formula presented) the spin splitting of the bottom of the band (Formula presented) (for (Formula presented) bands we consider no spin splitting for the band top) generates an effective local magnetic field (Formula presented). To account for this in our model of Eq.� 2, one could renormalize (Formula presented) (or else use a shifted compensation field (Formula presented) below).
