Universal conductance fluctuations are usually observed in the form of aperiodic oscillations in the magnetoresistance of thin wires as a function of the magnetic field B. If such oscillations are completely random at scales exceeding…
We calculate the correlator of the local density of states <\rho_{E}(r_1)\rho_{E+\omega}(r_2)> in quasi-one-dimensional disordered wires in a magnetic field, assuming that |r_1-r_2| is much smaller than the localization length. This amounts…
