Recent advancement in fabrication technologies enable the construction of nano-objects with rather rich internal structures such as double or triple quantum dots, which can then be regarded as artificial molecules. The main new ingredient in the study of the Kondo effect in such artificial (and also in natural) molecules is the internal symmetry of the nano-object, which proves to play a crucial role in the construction of the effective exchange Hamiltonian. This internal symmetry combines continuous spin symmetry SU(2) and discrete point symmetry (such as mirror reflections for double dots or discrete $C_{3v}$ rotation for equilateral triangular dots. When these artificial molecules are attached to metallic leads, the set of dot operators appearing in the effective exchange Hamiltonian generate a group which is refereed to as the dynamical symmetry group of the system dot-leads [mostly SO(n) or SU(n)], and the pertinent group parameters (such as the value of $n$) can be controlled by experiment. In this short review we clarify and expand these concepts and discuss some specific examples. In particular we concentrate on the difference between the chain geometry and the ring geometry. When a perpendicular magnetic field is applied in the ring geometry, its gauge symmetry U(1) is involved in the interplay with the spin and orbital dynamics of the dot.

We show that the paradigmatic Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) description of two local magnetic moments coupled to propagating electrons breaks down in helical Luttinger Liquids when the electron interaction is stronger than some critical value.
In this novel regime, the Kondo effect overwhelms the RKKY interaction over all macroscopic inter-impurity distances. This phenomenon is a direct consequence of the helicity (realized, for instance, at edges of a time-reversal invariant topological insulator) and does not take place in usual (non-helical) Luttinger Liquids.
Magnetic molecules adsorbed on a superconductor give rise to a local competition of Cooper pair and Kondo singlet formation inducing subgap bound states. For Manganese-phthalocyanine molecules on a Pb(111) substrate, scanning tunneling spectroscopy r
esolves pairs of subgap bound states and two Kondo screening channels. We show in a combined approach of scaling and numerical renormalization group calculations that the intriguing relation between Kondo screening and superconducting pairing is solely determined by the hybridization strength with the substrate. We demonstrate that an effective one-channel Anderson impurity model with a sizable particle-hole asymmetry captures universal and non-universal observations in the system quantitatively. The model parameters and disentanglement of the two screening channels are elucidated by scaling arguments.
Kondo coupling of f and conduction electrons is a common feature of f-electron intermetallics. Similar effects should occur in carbon ring systems(metallocenes). Evidence for Kondo coupling in Ce(C8H8)2 (cerocene) and the ytterbocene Cp*2Yb(bipy) is
reported from magnetic susceptibility and L_III-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy. These well-defined systems provide a new way to study the Kondo effect on the nanoscale, should generate insight into the Anderson Lattice problem, and indicate the importance of this often-ignored contribution to bonding in organometallics.
We apply our recently developed, selfconsistent renormalization group (RG) method to STM spectra of a two-impurity Kondo system consisting of two cobalt atoms connected by a one-dimensional Cu chain on a Cu surface. This RG method was developed to de
scribe local spin screening in multi-impurity Kondo systems in presence of the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction. Using the RKKY interaction of a one-dimensional chain, we explain the experimentally observed suppression and oscillation of the Kondo temperature, $T_K(y)$, as a function of the length of the chain and the corresponding RKKY interaction parameter $y$, regardless of the RKKY coupling being ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic.
We have studied the interplay of an Anderson impurity in Landau quantized graphene, with special emphasis on the influence of the chemical potential. Within the slave-boson mean-field theory, we found reentrant Kondo behaviour by varying the chemical
potential or gate voltage. Between Landau levels, the density of states is suppressed, and by changing the graphenes Fermi energy, we cross from metallic to semiconducting regions. Hence, the corresponding Kondo behaviour is also influenced. The f-level spectral function reveals both the presence of Landau levels in the conduction band and the Kondo resonance.
