Title: Anomalous Hall and Kerr effects from diffractive skew scattering: examples of Kondo TIs and p-wave superconductors

Abstract: I will discuss new mechanism of the anomalous quantum transport originating from the diffractive skew scattering of electrons on the rare two-impurity complexes. As practical examples we will consider extrinsic contribution to the anomalous Hall effect in the context of surface states of Kondo topological insulators and contributions to the Kerr effect in the context of the chiral p-wave superconductors.
