20. Corrections to the self-consistent description are small as (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) is the total number of channels connecting the dot to the reservoirs, including spin degeneracy, see I.L. Aleiner, P.W. Brouwer, and L.I. Glazman, cond-mat/0103008 (unpublished). Even for single-channel point contacts, one has (Formula presented), and the quantitative effect of these corrections is small.

28. The tails of the distribution depend on the value of the capacitance C. In the non-interacting limit (Formula presented) and (Formula presented), they read (Formula presented) for (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) for (Formula presented).

30. For single-channel contacts (Formula presented) (Formula presented) is expressed in terms of the scattering matrix S as (Formula presented). Since (Formula presented) under reversal of a magnetic field B, this equation results in (Formula presented). There is no such magnetic field symmetry of the pumped voltage for (Formula presented).
