  We consider the Kondo effect in quantum dots coupled to Luttinger liquid
leads, focussing on the case of repulsive interactions and spin SU(2) symmetry
in the leads. We find that the system can flow to the 1-channel or 2-channel
Kondo fixed points, depending on the interactions in the system. We compute the
conductance and find that the qualitative behavior is strongly dependent on the
interactions. Finally, we point out a consequence of 2-channel Kondo physics,
which should be observable in thermal conductance measurements.
