Abstract

We evaluate the electron-electron interaction corrections to the electronic thermal conductivity in a disordered conductor in the diffusive regime. We use a diagrammatic many-body method analogous to that of Altshuler and Aronov for the electrical conductivity. We derive results in one, two, and three dimensions for both the singlet and triplet channels, and in all cases find that the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated.
