34. In a normal system, injection of current into contact α causes out-flowing currents in contact β ≠ α, resulting in negative off-diagonal conductance, see Ref. 21. In contrast, for interacting systems off-diagonal conductances can be positive. See C.C. Chamon and E. Fradkin, Phys. Rev. B 56, 2012 (1997) and
