Abstract
We generalize the analytic theory of universal conductance fluctuations to systems with Landau-level quantization. Results are valid to leading order in 1/g (g is conductance) but for arbitrary magnetic field. We show that the field only enters through the diffusion constant and cancels in the variance of g, which hence remains ∼(/h over the entire range of magnetic fields. However, the correlation range does vary with field in good agreement with experiments.
