Abstract
A numerical verification of Luttinger's theorem, based on a recently developed many-body approach, is given for the Kondo-lattice model. For a two-dimensional lattice the completely localized spins $(S=1/2)$ are found to contribute to the Fermi sea volume as if they were electrons, which is in agreement with Oshikawa's topological proof of Luttinger's theorem. Underpinning this result we explicitly calculate the momentum-resolved one-particle spectral function showing nearly dispersionless excitations clearly below the Fermi level for different values of the conduction electron filling. Numerical integration over momentum and energy always leads to the correct particle number of the localized spins according to the well-accepted picture of a large Fermi surface. In this paper, a first many-body approach is shown, which is able to reproduce the correct value of Luttinger's theorem for this model.
