We study the fluctuation-induced magnetotransport of a two-dimensional
superconductor in the quasiballistic regime, where (
is the electron mean free path and
is the
Ginzburg-Landau coherence length). The magnetoconductivity is
evaluated in the nonlocal fluctuation regime thereby extending the existing
theory valid in the local limit. We show that the Maki-Thompson (MT) and
density-of-states (DOS) contributions strongly compensate each other and
their sum is negligible in comparison with the Aslamazov-Larkin (AL) term.
The hierarchy of the fluctuation contributions to the magnetoconductivity in
the high-field limit is also qualitatively discussed.
