    Anisotropic conductivity tensor on a half-filled high Landau level

    We study two-dimensional interacting electrons in a weak perpendicular magnetic field with the filling factor ν1\nu \gg 1 and in the presence of a quenched disorder. As it is known, the unidirectional charge density wave state can exist near a half-filled high Landau level at low temperatures if disorder is weak enough. We show that the existence of the unidirectional charge density wave state at temperature T<TcT<T_c where TcT_c is the transition temperature leads to the anisotropic conductivity tensor. We find that the anisotropic part of conductivity tensor is proportional to (TcT)/Tc(T_c-T)/T_c below the transition in accordance with the experimental findings. The order parameter fluctuations wash out the mean-field cusp at T=TcT=T_c and the conductivity tensor becomes anisotropic even above the mean-field transition temperature TcT_c.Comment: RevTeX, 13 pages, 6 figure

    Two-instanton approximation to the Coulomb blockade problem

    We develop the two-instanton approximation to the current-voltage characteristic of a single electron transistor within the Ambegaokar-Eckern-Sch\"on model. We determine the temperature and gate voltage dependence of the Coulomb blockade oscillations of the conductance and the effective charge. We find that a small (in comparison with the charging energy) bias voltage leads to significant suppression of the Coulomb blockade oscillations and to appearance of the bias-dependent phase shift
