Abstract: A closed expression is derived for the probability distribution of the transfer matrix of a particle moving in a one-dimensional system with delta-correlated, weak disorder. The change in the distribution as a function of wire length is described by a diffusion equation on the $SU(1,1)$ group, which is solved through the decomposition of the regular representation into irreducible components. The expression generalizes a number of well-known results, including the distributions of the transmission coefficient and local density of states. As an application, the average single energy-level contribution to the persistent current in a flux-threaded ring is derived.
