\sect{The Drude formula}

Consider a ring of length $L$,
with a particle that has the Drude
velocity-velocity correlation function
with a time constant $\tau$.
The temperature is $T$.

\Dn

(a)
Find the conductance of the ring
using the canonical FDT.

\Dn

(b)
What is the conductance if there are $N$ fermions
at zero temperature instead of a single particle.

\Dn

(c)
What is $\tau$, and hence what is the conductance,
if the scattering in the ring is due to
a stochastic segment that has a transmission $g$.
