Landauer conductance and twisted boundary conditions for Dirac fermions

We apply the generating function technique developed by Nazarov to the computation of the density of transmission eigenvalues for a finite graphene sheet in which a two-dimensional freely propagating massless Dirac fermion is realized. By modeling ideal leads attached to the sample as a conformal invariant boundary condition, we relate the generating function for the density of transmission eigenvalues to the twisted chiral partition functions of fermionic (c=1) and bosonic (c=-1) conformal field theories. We also discuss the scaling behavior of the ac Kubo conductivity and compare its \textit{different} $dc$ limits with results obtained from the Landauer conductance. Finally, we show that the disorder averaged Einstein conductivity is an analytic function of the disorder strength, with vanishing first-order correction, for a tight-binding model on the honeycomb lattice with weak real-valued and nearest-neighbor random hopping.
