Abstract
A Kubo inspired formalism is proposed to compute the longitudinal and transverse dynamical conductivities of an electron in a plane (or a gas of electrons at zero temperature) coupled to the potential vector of an external local magnetic field, with the additional coupling of the spin degree of freedom of the electron to the local magnetic field (Pauli Hamiltonian). As an example, the homogeneous magnetic field Ha]] conductivity is rederived. The case of the vortex at the origin is worked out in detail. This system happens to display a transverse Ha]] conductivity ( P breaking effect) which is subleading in volume compared to the homogeneous field case, but diverging at small frequencies like 1/ ω 2. A perturbative analysis is proposed for the conductivity in the random magnetic impurity problem (Poissonian vortices in the plane). At first order in perturbation theory, the Ha]] conductivity displays oscillations close to the classical straight line conductivity of the mean magnetic field.
