24. It has been suggested by using the coordinate transformation that there exists a Středa-like contribution to the spin Hall conductivity. See A. A. Baytin and F. D. M. Haldane, Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. BAPSA6 0003-0503 50, Part 2, p. 1149 (2005). However, the extra contribution for the spin Hall conductivity besides the Středa-like one has not been mentioned. This is not surprising because the nonconservation of spin (i.e., [sz, H] 0) is not taken into account in their argument.

31. For example, as parameters are varied, the magnitude and sign of the Chern number for each subband may change [see, for example, M. Y. Lee, M. C. Chang, and T. M. Hong, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.57.11895 57, 11895 (1998)]. Thus one can manipulate charge Hall currents by tuning system parameters such as the hopping amplitude. Similar situations may also occur in SHE.
