## Abstract

In the theory of noise processes for mesoscopic conductors, the relationship between shot noise and hot-electron noise is absolutely fundamental to understanding the underlying microscopic fluctuations. From the vantage point of orthodox microscopics and kinetics, their relation is a long way from being settled. Its resolution calls for the tools of many-body theory. We motivate the many-body approach to noise, review the analysis of conductance and current noise within linear diffusive theories, and discuss the smooth crossover between thermal noise and shot noise. We outline a kinetic theory of nonequilibrium fluctuations, and show how this completely orthodox approach directly negates drift-diffusive explanations of the crossover.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
