40. By using the Strutinsky method developed in Ref. 34 and local-density-matrix functional theory, it is possible to obtain both the direct and the exchange terms of the Coulomb interaction. Therefore, Eq. (4) is fully justified. T. T. Ong and H. U. Baranger (unpublished).

47. Note that in the case of a diffusive QD, this term gives the main contribution to the variance (see Appendix A), which turns out to be of the same order as the first term in the ballistic case. It might also be important in systems with strong semiclassical effects.

64. Notice, however, that α̃ always first decreases from its T=0 value and then increases again. This is related to the fact that the contribution from the excited states comes first in the GOE case.
