13. The magnetoconductance of MWCNT was found to oscillate aperiodically (Refs. 4 and 5). The former group assigned this to universal conductance fluctuations, which comes about in a diffusive 2D conductor, while the latter attributed the fluctuations to variations in the density of states. With (formula presented) and typical tube radii of 10 nm and 15 nm in Refs. 4 and 5, respectively, they had (formula presented) and (formula presented) at the lower edge of our regime.

16. In the Hall bar the density of bulk states (formula presented) is normally equated with the total density n, so that the fraction of the edge states in the total density is neglected when the filling fraction (formula presented) is expressed in terms of density. Here we may do so on account of the divergency of the “bulk” density of states close at the poles. The equator density of states, on the other hand, does not diverge. Further, since at low filling the highest (formula presented) is only slightly larger than (formula presented) the part of the equator states in the total density can be neglected here as well.
