We discuss the calculation of the linear conductance through a Coulomb-blockade quantum dot in the presence of interactions beyond the charging energy. In the limit where the temperature is large compared with a typical tunneling width, we use a rate-equations approach to describe the transitions between the corresponding many-body states. We discuss both the elastic and rapid-thermalization limits, where the rate of inelastic scattering in the dot is either small or large compared with the elastic transition rate, respectively. In the elastic limit, we find several cases where a closed solution for the conductance is possible, including the case of a constant exchange interaction. In the rapid-thermalization limit, a closed solution is possible in the general case. We show that the corresponding expressions for the linear conductance simplify for a Hamiltonian that is invariant under spin rotations.
