These authors have shown that nonparabolicity leads to a small difference between the electron g* for a perpendicular and for an in-plane B. An experimental confirmation ot these findings was given, e.g., by B. Kowalski et al. [Phys. Rev. B 49, 14786 (1994)].

In fact, the g* anisotropy derived by Kalevich and Korenev disappears after a suitable gauge transformation which shifts the origin of the z axis. This provides a quantitative explanation for the disagreement between experiment and the theory of Kalevich and Korenev, which was noted by Oestreich et al.

18. 7. However, the results obtained by means of the 4 X 4 Luttinger Hamiltonian are similar.

20. The small B-linear Zeeman splitting proportional to q was discussed in Ref. [3]. Note that for a 200 Å wide GaAs QW and magnetic fields B ≳ 3 T the cubic splitting (4) dominates over the linear splitting due to q. An enhanced B-linear Zeeman splitting of 2D holes is possible in asymmetric GaAs QW's [7]. Here we focus on symmetric QW's.
21. 2. This result was obtained by an incorrect symmetrization of the k dependent terms in the Luttinger Hamiltonian.
