Abstract

The time dispersion of the averaged conductance G(t)G(t) of a mesoscopic sample is calculated in the long time limit when tt is much larger than the diffusion travelling time tD t_D. In this case the functional integral in the effective supersymmetric field theory is determined by the saddle point contribution. If tt is shorter than the inverse level spacing Δ\Delta (Δt/1\Delta t / \hbar \ll 1), then G(t)G(t) decays as exp[t/tD]\exp[-t/t_D]. In the ultra-long time limit (Δt/1\Delta t / \hbar \gg 1) the conductance G(t)G(t) is determined by the electron states that are poorly connected with the outside leads. The probability to find such a state decreases more slowly than any exponential funcion as tt tends to infinity. It is worth mentioning, that the saddle point equation looks very similar to the well known Eilenberger equation in the theory of dirty superconductors.
