31. Δ can be taken as real since its phase does not play any role when considering a single superconducting contact

34. Moreover, for a small contact region, the effect of eventual superconducting currents due to the penetration of external magnetic fields into the superconductor can be taken into account in the Andreev reflection by simply renormalizing the g-factor of the carriers [G. Tkachov and K. Richter, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.71.094517 71, 094517 (2005)].
35. Moreover, a triplet component proximity effect shows up when studying the anomalous correlation function due to the presence of a magnetic texture in the vicinity of a conventional (singlet) bulk superconductor [see Ref., and F. S. Bergeret, A. F. Volkov, and K. B. Efetov, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.4096 86, 4096 (2001)].

44. In the context of adiabatic spin transport, one can conveniently rewrite Q=ωs ω, where ωs=2 h is the Larmor frequency of spin precession around the field h and ω=vF a is the frequency of orbital motion around the ring [see Refs., and D. Loss and P. M. Goldbart, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.45.13544 45, 13544 (1992)].
