We propose to study the transport through tunneling-coupled double quantum dots (DQDs) connected in series to leads, using the finite-$U$ slave-boson mean field approach developed initially by Kotliar and Ruckenstein [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 57}, 1362 (1986)]. This approach treats the dot-lead coupling and the inter-dot tunnelling $t$ nonperturbatively at arbitrary Coulomb correlation $U$, thus allows the anti-ferromagnetic exchange coupling parameter $J=4t^2/U$ to appear naturally. We find that, with increasing the inter-dot hopping, the DQDs manifest three distinct physical scenarios: the Kondo singlet state of each dot with its adjacent lead, the spin singlet state consisting of local spins on each dot and the doubly occupied bonding orbital of the coupled dots. The three states exhibit remarkably distinct behavior in transmission spectrum, linear and differential conductance and their magnetic-field dependence. Theoretical predictions agree with numerical renormalization group and Lanczos calculations, and some of them have been observed in recent experiments.
