9. The importance of electron-electron interactions in the distribution has recently been pointed out in P. Mohanty and R.A. Webb, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88 (2002) 146601. Unfortunately, it is not possible to include interaction effects on the full P(g) at all disorder within any framework known today.

21. Exact distribution for 1d conductors is known, see e.g., B.L. Altshuler and V.N. Prigodin, JETP Lett. 45 (1987) 687, but there is no metallic regime in 1d. The 3rd cumulant of the distribution has been obtained for quasi-1D systems using random matrix theory by A.M. Macedo (Phys. Rev. B 49 (1994) 1858) and by V.A. Gopar, M. Martinez, and P.A. Mello Phys. Rev. B 51 (1995) and using a scaling method by A.V. Tartakovski (Phys. Rev. B 52 (1995) 2704). It has also been calculated for weak disorder in higher dimensions within standard perturbation theory by M.C. van Rossum et al. (Phys. Rev. B 55 (1997) 4710).
