31. I. Ruzin and S. Feng, Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 154 (1995), these authors predict a semicircle relation for the conductivities that, upon inversion of the conductivity tensor, is also a semicircle for the resistivities.10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.154
32. In a previous study we found that the semicircle relation holds in the transition from the (Formula presented) QH state to the insulating phase, leading to strong correlations between the conductivity-tensor components.

37. However, Büttiker found that in general the four-terminal resistances should obey a more complex sum rule. See M. Büttiker, Phys. Rev. Lett. 57, 1761 (1986); 10.1103/PhysRevLett.57.1761
