Abstract
We calculate the electrical resistivity of a two-dimensional electron gas that results from two-particle collisions and strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. In the absence of impurities, two-particle collisions do not contribute to resistivity. When combined with impurity scattering, the two-particle correction to the resistivity is proportional to the square of temperature if only the lower helicity band is filled, but the term vanishes if the Fermi level is above the Dirac point.
