Abstract
We reply to the critique of our results raised by Aleiner, Altshuler and Gershenzon (AAG) in cond-mat/9808078 and cond-mat/9808053. We demonstrate that our path integral analysis fully reproduces the results of AAG if analyzed on a perturbative level. This should settle the issue of "missing diagrams" in our calculation. We, furthermore, demonstrate that our approach allows us to proceed beyond the Golden-rule-type perturbation theory employed by AAG. This explains the difference between our and AAG's results. We also comment on the comparison of our results with the experiments presented by AAG.
