Density matrix for a mesoscopic current ribbon
Abstract
We consider an ideal mesoscopic ribbon in which a steady azimuthal current is generated. We show that the closed interacting electron system in the presence of the current is described by a density matrix which is that of an equilibrium system without current but with a constrained Hamiltonian.
